Unapologetically decadent and powerful, yet harmonious and elegant, Sine Qua Non wines seem to possess the rare, magical quality of the greats — an addictive sensory overload that is hard to describe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003e- The 2021 Grenache Eleven Confessions Vineyard is a showstopper, a stunning wine of unimpeachable pedigree and finesse. For all its intensity, it remains cool-toned and remarkably graceful, with layers of red fruit, spice and lavender unfurling in a finish that fans out like a peacock's tail. Iron-tinged minerality lends striking complexity and underlines the wine's stature. The cool growing season endowed this Grenache with a sense of weightlessness and transparency. The 2021 is remarkably fresh and joyful after 38 months in barrel.

One of the most intellectual Grenache releases from the Krankls, it’s anything but light or under-fruited, delivering a full-bodied, voluptuous mouthfeel, flawless balance, ultra-fine tannins, and a finish that simply doesn’t quit. This magical effort underscores the Krankls’ meticulous attention to detail, relentless work ethic, and sheer talent in both vineyard and cellar. I would not hesitate to place it among the greatest Grenache-based wines ever produced – 1990 Bonneau Réserve des Célestins, 2007 Giraud Grenaches de Pierre, 2007 Clos des Papes, 2010 Clos Saint Jean Deus ex Machina, and 2005 Barroche Cuvée Pure. It’s that good.
