Based just north of Los Angeles in Ventura County, and with most of its vineyards in Santa Barbara, it eschews the usual image of top California wine as being only from Napa Valley. That is not the only thing eschewed at Sine Qua Non – the same wine is rarely made more than once, turning the idea of the American icon wine on its head.The cult winery specialises in Rhône grape varieties, with most of the red wines based on Syrah and Grenache. White wines are typically based on Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier and are also modelled after Rhône wines. While most of Sine Qua Non's vineyards are located in Santa Barbara, the home vineyard (and the winery) is located in Oak View. Many of the wines are labeled under the more generic California and Central Coast AVAs, rather than the specific AVAs the vineyards are located in, giving more freedom when it comes to blending.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-08T12:43:26-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-20T07:40:29-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","MK2002","Other_Wine","Producer_Sine Qua Non","Region_California","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_\tGrenache"],"price":259899,"price_min":259899,"price_max":259899,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42792244347018,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2001 | Sine Qua Non | Ventriloquist","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":259899,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/40_b837f573-79dc-4070-9793-57b57e75d6e5.png?v=1676896933"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/40_b837f573-79dc-4070-9793-57b57e75d6e5.png?v=1676896933","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2001 | Sine Qua Non | Ventriloquist at CaskCartel.com","id":24258031779978,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.462,"height":678,"width":313,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/40_b837f573-79dc-4070-9793-57b57e75d6e5.png?v=1676896933"},"aspect_ratio":0.462,"height":678,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/40_b837f573-79dc-4070-9793-57b57e75d6e5.png?v=1676896933","width":313}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2001 | Sine Qua Non | Ventriloquist\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplex fruit and liquorice but it is still so surprisingly primary on the nose even though there is the beginning of leather.
