Sine Qua Non More Than a Number 2002 750mL

2002 Sine Qua Non More Than Just a Number - Wine Advocate #196 - Aug 2011: 2002 Numbers/Letters: Still very young, fresh and lively, with plenty of sweet and sour cherry notes intermixed with blacker currants, pepper, forest floor, spice box and some toasty oak, this wine is medium to full-bodied, fleshy, rich, still quite young, and seems very backward and a different style of Grenache than anything produced in the vintages that followed. I would forget this wine for at least another 2-3 years and drink it over the following decade. It is a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah.
