2018 Eleven Confession Vineyard Grenache EBA ｜單一園11個懺悔園·延長桶陳·格納希精釀紅酒｜WA:99 適飲期: 2025-2040
身紅寶石色澤帶紫色光暈，緩緩散發出酸櫻桃、咖啡豆、甘草、百里香、茶葉和森林氣息。酒體飽滿、強勁且富有活力，入口迸發出多汁的酸度，單寧略帶顆粒感與濃郁果香相得益彰。在酒杯靜置一段時間，悠長的餘韻中，香氣如萬花筒般綻放出辛香料與花香氣息，這可能也代表著，相較於其他系列酒款，這款酒在達到巔峰前的陳年潛力更加驚人。
酒莊介紹:
Sine Qua Non原意是拉丁文的「缺一不可」、「必要條件」，是位於美國加州Ventura (Central Coast AVA)的精品酒莊，首釀年份1994 Queen of Spade就令評酒大師Robert Parker讚嘆不已，更將辛卡濃列入他的名作 ”The World'sGreatest Wine Estates”(世界偉大酒莊)一書中。
Inaugural Syrah 2003這支酒款還被選為神の雫中的第七使徒。
SQN辛卡儂酒莊是個特立獨行有創意的酒莊，每個年份都有特殊的名字與酒標，許多細節堅持以手工處理，對每個環節嚴謹的把關，是SQN成為史上唯一得過13次Robert Parker 100 滿分的最大秘密所在。因名氣大噪而供不應求，是收藏家必收藏的酒款，經常一瓶難求，其郵購會員後補名額預估都得等上六年以上，通常只能在拍賣會上購得，堪稱為最難入手的葡萄酒之一。
WA:99 Drink Date: 2025 - 2040
The 2018 Grenache Eleven Confessions Vineyard is a barrel selection and is composed of 83.7% Grenache, 9.1% Syrah, 6% Petite Sirah and 1.2% Viognier. It was fermented with 45% whole clusters and matured for about 38 months in 52% new French oak barrels and demi-muids. It has a deep ruby-purple color and slowly opening scents of Morello cherries, coffee beans, licorice, thyme, tea leaves and forest floor. The full-bodied palate is powerful yet energetic, offering bursts of juicy acidity and grainy tannins to counter its concentrated fruits. After spending some time in the glass, the long finish blossoms to a kaleidoscope of spicy, floral accents, suggesting this may require more bottle time than some of the other wines in this lineup before reaching its peak.
WA:100 Drink Date: 2025 - 2040

It was fermented with 28% whole clusters and matured about 38 months in 50% new French oak. It has an opaque ruby-purple in color, and the palate is full-bodied, powerful and seamless, boasting powdery tannins and integrated acidity. It has a concentrated core of floral fruit and a tremendously long finish.
