Established in 1994, Sine Qua Non is possibly one of the most famous Californian cult wineries. The creation of maverick winemaker, Manfred Krankl, this winery is world-famous for producing miniscule quantities of unique Rhône Valley-inspired blends using estate-grown and purchased fruit from some of the greatest vineyards across the Central Coast. The 2005 release called Atlantis Fe203-2a is a blend of 93% Syrah, 5% Grenache and 2% Viognier sourced from the 11 Confessions, White Hawk, Alban and Bien Nacido Vineyards. Deeply dark-fruited, this exceptionally intense release also has wonderful floral perfume, savoury depth and mineral complexity. A stunning wine that scored 100-points in The Wine Advocate.
