生産者シン クア ノンSine Qua Nonワイン名パティーヌ グルナッシュPatine Grenacheヴィンテージ2011容量1500ml解説パーカーポイント: 97点予想される飲み頃:2018 - 2028Coming all from Manfreds Eleven Confessions Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills and a blend of 77% Grenache, 22% Syrah and 1% Viognier (fermented with 25% whole clusters), the 2011 Grenache Patine spent a full 33 months in almost all neutral oak, with just 11% being new. It offers perfumed and spice-laced notes of white pepper, black raspberry, blackberry and ground herbs that flow to a full-bodied, elegant, nicely concentrated 2011 that has nicely integrated acidity, no hard edges and a terrific finish. Its certainly one of the fresher, more elegant Grenaches from Manfred, yet it still has rocking levels of fruit. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and enjoy bottles over the following decade.(The Wine Advocate, Aug 28, 2015)
