2008 Sine Qua Non Grenache THE Line
Community Tasting Note

96 Points
Thursday, May 5, 2011 - Dark wild berry fruit, Kirsch liqueur, dusty cocoa bean/white pepper spice, lilac florals. This is intense and dripping with flavor....pretty spicy and with a good dose of dried wood to it(which I love!). The fruit is creamy, not at all too sweet, but fresh crushed and pureed. Wonderful subtle complexities of smoked cherries in chocolate, tobacco leaves, red velvet cake. Another killer SQN....plenty of room to age gracefully. +pts
