INSTANTLY WITHOUT EQUAL A partner at Campanile restaurant, Manfred Krankl made his first wine, Black and Blue, in 1992 under the larger Havens label as a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Sine Qua Non, which could alternatively mean, without equal or something indispensable could both apply to the wine and the appreciation held for it by its fans as there is now a waiting list for the waiting list to acquire the freshest grape concoction. Sine Qua Non officially hit the scene in the mid 1990s, with heavy, odd-shaped bottles, gaudy labels and ostentatious proprietary names such as Omadhaun Poltron, Imposter McCoy and The Other Hand. Brilliant pieces of marketing, there are often serial like stories attached to each. Yields are incredibly miniscule often under one ton per acre from a combination of old vines, canopy management and shoot thinning. In the winery, processes utilitized include indigenous yeasts, lengthy cold soak, traditional open top fermenters, several punch downs, extended skin contact, malolactic fermentation in new oak casks, and just one racking prior to bottling. The wines are outrageously rich yet have subtlety and definition of flavor. Not only just a different moniker each year it is a different wine each year as the wine is sourced from the usual vineyards in the proportion for which they are producing. Originally, the Rhône varieties were sourced from the Alban, Bien Nacido, and Stolpman vineyards with the pinot juice being sourced from the famed Shea Vineyard of Oregon. Although each year there is an increasing emphasis to use fruit solely from the Santa Rita Hills, particularly the Eleven Confessions estate vineyard. With artisanal practices and acute attention to detail in the vineyard, winery and canvas, production is exceedingly minute with most cuvées hovering around 500 cases a year and even less for the late-harvest wines. Each vintage, the Krankls fully invest their heart, soul and personality into the art of each bottle. JC Sine Qua Non Against The Wall--Vintage 1996 (1) "Sine Qua Non has produced some spectacular Syrahs, buying fruit from the best sources in Santa Barbara - the Alban, Stolpman, and Bien Nacido vineyards. The 1996 Against The Wall Syrah is cut from the same mold as the 1997. The color is opaque black/purple, and the nose offers a combination of cassis/blackberry jamminess intermixed with tar, pepper, and spice. Thick, massively full, yet wonderfully rich and expansive, with admirable purity and mouth-staining levels of glycerin and extract, this full-bodied, silky-smooth Syrah is deceptively easy to drink, but I suspect it will age effortlessly for 15-20 years." Robert Parker Wine Advocate #120 (December 1998) Omadhaun and Poltron--Vintage 1996 (1) "The blockbuster whites Sine Qua Non is now producing are a blend of Roussanne and Chardonnay, with the former varietal dominating the blend in both 1996 and 1997. The massive, dry 1996 Omadhaun Poltron's 15.2 alcohol is well-concealed beneath this full-bodied wine's glycerin and unctuous texture." Robert Parker Wine Advocate #120 (December 1998) Imposter McCoy--Vintage 1997 (1) "The funky artwork on the bottle emerges from Manfred Krankl's artistic side, but as the label says, "the truth is in the inside." I have already wolfed down two bottles of the 1997 Imposter McCoy (529 cases) with equally voracious friends. A thick, juicy, massive Syrah, it gushes copious quantities of licorice-infused blackberry fruit offering smoke, coffee, and meaty notes. The wine is mouth-filling, teeth-staining, and loaded." Robert Parker Wine Advocate #127 (February 2000) Backward & Forward--Vintage 1998 (1) "The 1998 Roussanne and Chardonnay Backward and Forward is a blend of 30 Roussanne, 40 Chardonnay, and 30 Viognier. This effort is almost over the top, but I suspect when it is put together it will be sumptuous. The color is evolved, but the wine has surprisingly lively acidity for its richness and massive power."
