The Sine Qua Non Distenta Grenache 2019 is a stunning wine from the acclaimed Sine Qua Non Winery, masterfully crafted by winemaker Manfred Krankl. This blend consists of 76% Grenache, 9.3% Syrah, 8% Mourvèdre, and a hint of Petite Sirah and Viognier. Aged for 23 months in 26% new French oak, this wine reflects the meticulous care and passion that define every bottle of Sine Qua Non wine.

In the glass, the Distenta Grenache 2019 reveals a deep ruby-purple hue, hinting at its richness and complexity. On the nose, it bursts with vibrant aromas of blackberries, blueberries, and black raspberries, mixed with notes of white pepper, coffee beans, cracked pepper, and subtle hints of thyme. Floral and spicy undertones, along with a touch of saddle leather, add depth to the bouquet.

The palate delivers a seamless, layered experience, with a medium to full-bodied profile that is both bold and refined. You’ll taste ripe, dark cherries and blackberries balanced by peppery herbs, violets, and assorted floral nuances. The grainy tannins and silky texture make each sip smooth, while maintaining a beautiful, lengthy finish. Even in a cooler year, this wine brings out remarkable depth, a touch of spiciness, and a plush, luxurious mouthfeel. It’s a wine that promises to develop and improve for years to come, making it a must-try for serious enthusiasts.

Critical Acclaim

WA 99
Wine Advocate
The 2019 Grenache Distenta I is composed of 76% Grenache, 9.3% Syrah, 8% Mourvèdre, 4.3% Petite Sirah and 2.4% Viognier. It was fermented with 43.5% whole clusters (predominantly Grenache) and matured for 23 months in 26.5% new French oak. Deep ruby-purple in color, it explodes with scents of crushed blackberries and blueberries, tar, coffee beans, cracked pepper and thyme. The full-bodied palate has a frame of grainy tannins, seamless acidity and layer after layer of spicy and floral fruit. It has a latency that suggests it will continue to develop for many years in bottle. 1,536 cases and 600 magnums will be released in the spring of 2022. This 2019 is made almost entirely from estate fruit—just 15% comes from the Bien Nacido Vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley. The rest of the fruit comes from estate vineyards The Third Twin (39%), Eleven Confessions (32%), Cumulus (11%) and Molly Aïda (3%). (EB)

The 2019 Grenache Distenta I, which was tasted from bottle, is cut from the same cloth as the 2020, although it's a touch more focused and elegant. Black raspberries, white pepper, new saddle leather, and beautiful floral and spicy notes all soar from the glass, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a seamless, layered mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. The blend is 76% Grenache, 9.3% Syrah, 8% Mourvèdre, and the rest Petite Sirah and Viognier that saw 43.5% whole clusters and 23 months in 26% new French oak, with 6.8% in concrete and the balance in used oak. It's another sensational wine from this estate that flirts with perfection.

The 2019 Grenache Distenta I is gorgeous. It offers up effusive aromatics, bright, punchy varietal fruit and fabulous balance. There's an extra dimension of fruit plushness, vis-a-vis the 2019 that is so alluring. Plush, silky tannins wrap things out in style. (AG)
