2011 Sine Qua Non Patina Grenache
The 2011 Sine Qua Non Patina Grenache is a rich and expressive wine that highlights the complexity and depth of the Grenache grape. On the nose, it offers intense aromas of ripe red fruit, such as cherries and raspberries, along with subtle notes of spices, herbs, and hints of earthiness. The palate is full-bodied and well-structured, with ripe, plush fruit flavors balanced by good acidity and fine tannins. It's a wine that offers both immediate enjoyment and the potential for aging, developing further depth over time.

Founded in 1994 by Manfred and Elaine Krankl, Sine Qua Non has become an icon of California’s wine world, renowned for its boundary-pushing, small-batch wines. The winery’s unconventional approach, including unique blends and artistic labels, has earned it a cult-like following. Each vintage reflects their philosophy of creativity and relentless pursuit of quality, making every bottle a rare collector's item.
Sine Qua Non is based in Ventura County, with vineyards spread across California’s Central Coast, including Santa Barbara County. This region benefits from a Mediterranean climate with cool coastal influences and sunny growing conditions, ideal for Rhône varietals like Syrah, Grenache, and Viognier. The diversity of the Central Coast allows for distinctive expressions of these varietals.
The terroir of Sine Qua Non’s estate vineyards is defined by complex soils, including sandy loam, clay, and marine sediment. These soils, combined with the cooling breezes from the Pacific Ocean, create optimal conditions for slow, even ripening. This results in wines that exhibit intense concentration, vibrant acidity, and a sense of place unique to each site.
