2016 Sine Qua Non Syrah SUBIR, Santa Rita Hills

Wine Advocate 99 Point

The 2016 Syrah SUBIR (meaning to rise or go up) is a single-vineyard wine—a barrel selection from the Eleven Confessions estate vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills. "This vineyard is by far our coolest," Manfred said. "Sometimes we don’t harvest this vineyard until November. The wines from here have a lot of structure and presence. The soil is a heavy clay, so the wines can be pretty muscular." Drink Date 2022 - 2045. Lisa Perrotti-Brown 31st Aug 2020
