Sine Qua Non The Hated Hunter 2017 750ml
California, USA, Central Coast
Rare Red Blend
Jeb Dunnuck's rating system employs a 50-100 point quality scale. While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.
96 - 100
As good as it gets. These wines reach the peak of my personal scale of quality.
90 - 95
Outstanding wines. These wines are outstanding for their type and are worth the extra effort to seeking out.
85 - 89
Very Good to Good. These offer real character and can be age worthy.
80 - 84
Good to Barely Good. While still good, these wines lack character or fail to show a significant number of positive traits. Wines in this category can deliver pleasure, particularly with a meal or in a setting where the wine won’t be the center of attention.
50 - 80
Undrinkable. Wines rated less than 80 points are not recommended. They will range from passable to flawed and undrinkable.
Not yet bottled, the 2017 Syrah Hated Hunter looks to be another magical wine from this estate, which has produced an incredible number of truly profound wines over the coming 10-15 years. Made from 82.4% Syrah, 7.8% Petite Sirah, and the rest Mourvèdre, Grenache, Viognier, and Petit Manseng, it will spend 23 months or so in 59% new French oak. My notes are sprinkled with a few expletives, but it does everything right, offering incredible purity of fruit, notes of white flowers, cured meats, spice box, and blackcurrants, full-bodied richness, and a seamless texture. It shows the pretty, perfumed, ripe style of the vintage yet is flawlessly balanced. The 2017s have a touch of the 2015 structure and austerity, so plan on 4-5 years of bottle age. 2019-2034
Sine Qua Non has its own winemaking facility in Ventura, California not far from the Santa Barbara vineyards where the fruit is sourced from. In the last few years Manfred and his wife, Elaine, have begun creating their own vineyards dedicated to Rhone varietals. Their winemaking philosophy is to work in very small batches, gravity flow, natural yeasts (unless a fermentation problem is anticipated), long lees aging for the whites and repeated racking for the reds to open them up. This is a modified explanation of a very dedicated and artistic approach to winemaking. The wines are simultaneously very rich and elegant, superbly balanced and thoroughly harmonious with food, never overwhelming.
