Lot #230. Sine Qua Non Grenache Stockholm Syndrome Estate Eleven Confessions Vineyard 2010

Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Score: 100 WA.
"The current release of the estate vineyard (a.k.a. the extended barrel-aged cuvee), the 2010 Grenache Stockholm Syndrome is an incredible effort that I couldn’t find a fault with. A blend of 75% Grenache, 22% Syrah, 2% Roussanne and 1% Viognier, all from the Eleven Confession Vineyard, it spent just under 30 months in 22% new and 78% used French oak prior to bottling. Locked and loaded, it knocks it out of the park with its cassis, licorice, smoked duck, spice-box and exotic herb-styled bouquet. The palate follows suit and while it has the expected depth and richness of the estate, it’s seamless, elegant and lively, with perfect balance, ultra-fine tannin and a finish that just won’t quit. It doesn’t get any better and count yourself lucky if you can latch onto a couple of these. . ." Wine Advocate #214, 27th Aug 2014
Provenance: The Envy Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
