Tasting notes
Have you heard of Sine Qua Non? They're known for crafting beautiful Syrah wines in California. This "The Inaugural Eleven Confessions Syrah" from 2003 is something special—it's one of those wines you just have to try. The richness it brings to the palate is just extraordinary.
In Volume 28 of 'Drops of God', Chris presents this as the Seventh Apostle. It's likened to the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. Both stand as masterpieces in progress, echoing each other's unfinished grandeur.
When you pour it into a glass, that deep ruby color is captivating. As it ages, it develops a bit of a brick hue. The aroma is incredibly complex—think blackberries and cassis, with a touch of spicy black pepper. It's like a dense fruit grove in a bottle.
On the palate, you get this silky tannin and full-bodied richness that just envelops your tongue. The acidity is firm, bringing everything into balance. The finish is long, leaving you savoring every moment. Decanting this wine before drinking really lets its beauty shine. Give it a try, you won't regret it.
