Sine Qua Non Résisté California White Blend 2013

Roman Sukley

Gorgeous gold color, buttered toast, brioche, honeysuckle, orange blossom, lemon oil with some floral notes. Beautiful texture probably from the Roussanne component. Yet another masterful blending job by THE MAN. Full-bodied with nice crispness. Superb honeyed richness. 3 hour decant. Actually recommend holding these for a while. I'll be sitting on my remaining 11 (or at least 6 of them). They'll get nothing but better. If you can't wait, decant for a minimum of 3 hours.

This one changed a lot in the glass over an hour. Got a lot better with time.

Exotic and aromatic nose displaying white-stoned fruits and fresh brioche. Palette is lithe and textured for a white wine. Beyond medium sweet, finished with hard toffee notes. Good acidity brings up the rear. This is a serious white, with medium-term cellaring capabilities.

Graham Dresden

Very nice at the onset, much better 2 hours later. Incredibly well integrated.

13' Sine Qua Non Resiste. A Rhone & white burgundy blend. Full- Bodied ! I think if you asked 3 people, you would get three different opinions on the nose. Without a doubt floral/citrusy notes on the nose. Keeps EVOLVING in the glass, even after almost 2 hours of decanting. I'm in love with the balance of this wine. Just enough acidity/oak in it. The palate is full of pineapple, peach, orange peel, donut holes, honey, etc. This and the Ovid white(Rhone/ Burgundy)are worth looking into. The difference is the SQN could age another 10+ years. I'll wait a few years to open the rest of them.

Incredible wine! Orange/yellow color with really a kaleidoscope of tropical flavors that continued to evolve and change throughout the course of the meal....even with a 2 hour decant.

Jason Oliver

Amazing start to the evening @David L

Two hour decanting. Just an amazing bottle of wine.

Alessandro Dalle Carbonare

Extremely fresh. Rich and deep. Incredibly long finish for a dry young white wine. Despite the alcohol content it offer a very well balance overall

We prefer the SQN Whites before they get too much age and oxidation which seems like butterscotch. Much like the Moment opened earlier this week but cleaner.
