Sine Qua Non Eleven Confessions Vineyard Grenache Sta. Rita Hills

California

Sta. Rita Hills

The 2020 Grenache Eleven Confessions Vineyard comes entirely from the Krankls’ estate vineyard, which they planted in 2000 and 2001. The Grenache is blended with 13.1% Syrah, 3.3% Petite Sirah, and 1.6% Gelber Muskateller, and was vinified with 27% whole clusters. It was aged for 38 months in French oak, mainly larger demi-muids, 41% new. <br />
Medium to deep garnet in color with a touch of purple, it charges out of the gate with powerful notes of warm blackberries, baked plums, red currant jelly, and star anise, giving way to wafts of rose oil, wild sage, and Sichuan pepper. The full-bodied palate is coated with rich, densely laden red and black fruit preserves flavors, beautifully supported by a lively backbone of freshness and firm, grainy tannins, finishing long with provocative mineral sparks. 835 cases and 228 magnums were made.

The 2019 Eleven Confessions Vineyard Grenache is deep garnet-black in color. Notes of Christmas pudding, blackberry pie, and boysenberry preserves slowly awaken and emerge before opening out to fragrant suggestions of licorice, Indian spices, potpourri, and chargrill with a touch of cinnamon stick. The full-bodied palate explodes with powerful flavors of black fruit preserves, exotic spices, and floral nuances, paved by velvety tannins with beautiful freshness, finishing long and opulent. Coming 100% from the Krankls' Eleven Confessions Vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills, the blend this year is 89.4% Grenache, 5.5% Syrah, and 4.1% Petite Sirah with a 1% splash of Gelber Muskateller (a white grape - Muscat Blanc à Petit Grains). 35% whole clusters were used in the winemaking. It was aged for around 39 months in French oak barrels, mainly large demi-muids, 50% new. It was bottled in January 2023. 922 cases and 240 magnums were made.
