Tasting Notes
The Sine Qua Non “E” Grenache 2015 is an extraordinary achievement in California Rhône-style winemaking — a wine of pure hedonistic pleasure and sculpted precision. It opens with explosive aromas of raspberry liqueur, red plum, kirsch, lavender, garrigue, and exotic spices, all wrapped in a subtle veil of graphite, dark chocolate, and crushed stone. On the palate, it is full-bodied, layered, and silky, revealing waves of ripe red fruit, licorice, and rose petal balanced by remarkable freshness and lift. The finish is endless, echoing purity and power in perfect harmony.
Vintage Highlights
The 2015 growing season in Santa Barbara County was small but spectacular, yielding intensely concentrated fruit. The Eleven Confessions Vineyard — the home estate of Manfred and Elaine Krankl — sits on volcanic soils that lend a signature minerality and depth to this wine. Aged for 39 months in French oak (about 26% new), it displays an incredible combination of density, finesse, and aromatic complexity, built for decades of graceful aging.
Why It’s Special
Sine Qua Non is the benchmark of American Rhône varietals, and the 2015 “E” Grenache stands among its greatest creations. Awarded 100 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, it embodies the artistic genius of Manfred Krankl, who crafts each vintage as a singular statement of terroir and imagination. This is not just a wine — it is a collector’s piece, released only to a private allocation list and virtually impossible to find.
