Description

Sine Qua Non, Suey, Roussanne 2000


Bottle #254

WA 100

"The 2000 Suey TBA, made from 100% botrytis infected Roussanne from the Alban Vineyard, was harvested berry by berry, spent 38.5 months in new oak, and at harvest, had residual sugar of nearly 59.7% ... an unheard of number. ... This looks to be the stuff of legends. Unfortunately, only 597 half bottles were produced. ... anyone who loves prodigious, individualistic wine and the nectars produced from meticulous, even obsessive harvesting and vinification concerns should make every effort to latch on to a bottle of this unbelievable elixir. It’s as good as it gets." (8/04)
