Sine Qua Non

2010 Five Shooter Grenache | Ventura California 750ml

...seamless and elegant, with the house richness and texture, I gives up thrilling, floral-tinged aromas and flavors of red berry fruit, flower oil, spice, white pepper and licorice to go with a full-bodied, layered mouthfeel that keeps you coming back to the glass... | Jeb Dunnuck for Robert parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points

...an utterly vivid, compelling wine...persistent notes of graphite-infused minerality that give the wine much of its energy. Seamless layers of blue/black fruit sit on that razor's edge of salinity in a Grenache loaded with class, finesse and pure refinement. | Antonio Galloni for Vinous, 97 points

...heady aromas of black raspberry, bitter cherry, dark chocolate, violet, olive, espresso, bacon fat and cola...finishes very long and ripe, with fine-grained tannins and mounting mineral and spice notes. | Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, 95 points
