1996 Sine Qua Non Against The Wall Syrah - 94 Pts!
Sine Qua Non has produced some spectacular Syrahs buying fruit from the best sources in Santa Barbara - the Alban Stolpman and Bien Nacido vineyards. The 1996 Against The Wall Syrah is cut from the same mold as the 1997. The color is opaque black/purple and the nose offers a combination of cassis/blackberry jamminess intermixed with tar pepper and spice. Thick massively full yet wonderfully rich and expansive with admirable purity and mouth-staining levels of glycerin and extract this full-bodied silky-smooth Syrah is deceptively easy to drink but I suspect it will age effortlessly for 15-20 years. RP One of our favorite labelsby SQN! Amazing artwork ; detail.......Must be what Manfred feels like when trying to get label approval each year from the ATF! RP
