Sine Qua Non, The Raven No. 4, Syrah 2006

WA 96

"... a blend of 93% Syrah, 5% Grenache, and 2% Viognier that spends just under two years in French oak. Offering a dense purple color, gorgeous fruit, and a sweet perfume of graphite, blackberries, blueberries, charcoal, licorice, tar, and new oak, it is a dense, full-bodied, well-endowed, beautifully layered, pure Syrah... one of California’s most remarkable reference points of world-class wines. ... Over the last few years I have not been able to taste through the Sine Qua Non wines without coming across one that merits a three-digit score." (8/09)
