WINEMAKER NOTES
2013 Sine Qua Non 'Male' – Visionary California Syrah
The 2013 Sine Qua Non 'Male' Syrah is a striking expression from one of California’s most innovative producers. Founded by Manfred and Elaine Krankl, Sine Qua Non has earned cult status for its small-production, artistically driven releases. 'Male' is a vintage that underscores the estate’s mastery of Rhône varietals, blending power with seamless refinement.
Tasting Notes
The wine reveals captivating aromas of blackberry liqueur, smoked meats, and lavender, layered with notes of graphite, peppercorn, and licorice root. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, offering flavors of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and herbs de Provence. Silky yet powerful tannins lead into a finish of remarkable length and complexity.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
The 2013 'Male' Syrah is composed primarily of **Syrah**, with small percentages of **Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Petite Sirah** contributing depth and nuance. Fruit was sourced from several estate vineyards in California’s Central Coast, including the famed Eleven Confessions. The wine was aged in French oak barrels, largely new, before bottling with minimal intervention—a hallmark of Sine Qua Non’s artisanal approach.
Investment & Collectibility
The 2013 Sine Qua Non 'Male' is a rare bottling with immediate cult appeal. Known for its scarcity and artistry, each vintage of Sine Qua Non sells out upon release, making secondary market demand intense. With its near-perfect critical acclaim, this release is a trophy for collectors of California Cult Wines. Perfect for your collection.
Vintage Specifics & Accolades
The **2013 vintage** in California was outstanding, producing red wines with concentration, freshness, and remarkable balance. For Sine Qua Non, 'Male' represents one of the finest Syrah-led bottlings in the estate’s storied history.
