The first Sine Qua Non Pinot Noir and ultra rare! Only 850 bottles made The pencil drawing on the label depicts the vineyard layout in an old-fashioned style, with the Sine Qua Non block in the upper left corner, or out in "Left Field". "A fondness for double entendres seemed to make this name fitting as well, because I think...

Medium red. Aromas of red fruits, bonfire, black cardamom, clove and smoky oak. Silky, lush and moderately sweet, with a distinct minerality firming the red fruit flavors and giving the wine a tangy quality. Finishes with substantial dusty, fine tannins and late notes of cola, clove and smoky oak. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Good red-ruby. Complex nose combines red cherry, raspberry, woodsmoke and cinnamon. Sweet, silky and dense, with enticing flavors of strawberry and exotic spices. Remarkably large-scaled and generous for the year, and long and ripe on the back end, with suave, fine tannins. Oaky, but the wood element is successfully integrated. This reminded me of a Dujac Burgundy.

The last Sine Qua Non Pinot Noir "Sadly, Sine Qua Non’s final Pinot Noir will be the 2005 'Over and Out' Arita Hills Vineyard. That’s a shame as their Pinot Noir has always been one of my favorites - always rich and full-flavored rather than a dumb-downed, wimpish, and diluted faux-French imitation. This beauty has put on considerable weight since...

96 Points Jeb Dunnuck and Robert Parker! "From a suitcase clone, the 2017 Pinot Noir The Traveler was all destemmed and brought up in 60% new oak. It offers more candied cherries, candied violets, earth, smoked earth, and forest floor as well as a distinct salty minerality. Deep, rich, and medium to full-bodied, it fleshes out nicely in the glass,...

100 Points Jeb Dunnuck! "Lastly, the 2019 Pinot Noir The Traveler, from a suitcase clone selection in the vineyard, is more in the style of the Paige's Ridge and Golden Mean with its more linear, focused, incredibly pure personality. Bright wild strawberries, framboise, candied orange, spring flowers, and exotic spice notes all emerge from the glass, and it’s incredible on...

97 Points Jeb Dunnuck! "The 2020 Pinot Noir Flax Estate Vineyard is rich with scorched earth, cedar, and spice, with blackberry seed. The palate is full, iron-rich, and powerful, with firm structure and delivers notes of black tea, cherry pit, and turned soil. Hold this for several years and drink over the following 15 or more."
