Sine Qua Non Eleven Confessions Syrah [Magnum]
| Vintage: | 2017 |
|---|---|
| Description: | "This is a single-vineyard Syrah-dominant blend coming from the Eleven Confessions Estate vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills. As mentioned in my report last year, 33 acres are planted here. Eleven acres of Pinot Noir were already planted when they purchased the property, about half of which has been grafted over, and a further 22 acres were planted by the Krankls in 2001. In order to fully ripen Manfreds preferred mediummainly Rhne varietiesin this area more commonly planted to cooler-climate grapes such as Pinot and Chardonnay, the Krankls need to go super low on the yields and long on the hang time. This vineyard is by far the coolest of our vineyards, Manfred recently explained. Sometimes we dont harvest until November. Punitive yields of 1.5 tons per acre or less are common. In the years when its good and ready to sing, Eleven Confessions is used to make a single-vineyard wine under the Sine Qua Non label. The wines have a lot of structure and presence, Manfred commented. The soil is mainly heavy clay, so the wines can be pretty muscular." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, robertparker.com (Aug 19, 2021) |
