Sine Qua Non Distenta I Syrah 2019 is an exquisite expression of the Syrah grape varietal. From the first swirl, its deep, inky purple hue hints at the rich concentration within. On the nose, this wine opens with an intense bouquet of dark, ripe berries, including blackberries and blueberries, complemented by subtle hints of violet and dried herbs. These aromas evolve to reveal layers of complexity, introducing notes of cracked black pepper, roasted coffee beans, and a touch of smoky oak, which add depth and intrigue.
On the palate, the wine offers a lush and velvety texture, coating the mouth with a symphony of flavors. The ripe fruit character continues, with plump black cherries and plums at the forefront, accompanied by nuances of savory black olives and a touch of charred cedar. The tannins are finely integrated, providing a structured backbone that promises graceful aging potential. The finish is incredibly long, leaving a lasting impression of dark fruit, a subtle hint of cocoa, and a touch of graphite minerality. The Sine Qua Non Distenta I Syrah 2019 is a remarkable wine that showcases both the power and elegance that can be achieved in a top-tier Syrah.
Critic Ratings
The 2019 Syrah Distenta I is composed of 83.6% Syrah, 3% Mourvedre, 5.2% Petite Sirah, 6.2% Grenache, 1.4% Muscat and 0.6% Petit Manseng. The red winemaking included 33% whole cluster, and the fruit came entirely from estate-owned vineyards. Deep garnet-purple colored, it erupts from the glass with red roses, Morello cherries, boysenberries and juicy blueberries, followed by mocha, star anise, cardamom and cassia. The concentrated, full-bodied palate is packed with bright black, blue and red fruits, firm fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness. The complexity and vivacity are remarkable, carrying through a long, energetic finish.
The 2019 Syrah Distenta I is brilliant, and certainly one of the Syrahs of the vintage. A vivid, almost opaque ruby color introduces red and blackberry fruit, bacon fat, smoked meat and an increasingly floral character. The medium- to full-bodied palate is an elegant, restrained expression of Sine Qua Non, with freshness, silky tannins and flawless balance. The finish is exceptionally long, and the wine should reward extended cellaring.
