A consignor from BC, his passion for wine began 30 years ago. He built a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar in the 90s and stores his collection there. The bottles were all sourced either direct from the producers or through Marquis Wine Cellars in Vancouver.
The score for 1998 Sine Qua Non E Raised Syrah is 97 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - In addition to these new releases, I was also able to taste through a number of older vintages, including the 2001 Albino, 2006 Hoodoo Man, 2003 The Inaugural, 2004 Ode to E, 1998 E Raised, 2001 On Your Toes, 2005 Nail in My Cranium and 2007 Syrah Dangerous Birds. To say I came away impressed would be an understatement. Anyone who claims this big, rich style can-t age needs to taste these wines. I opted to just list my scores for the older releases as I find Bob-s initial write-ups spot on.
The score for 1998 Sine Qua Non Mr K The Straw Man is 99 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 1998 Mr. K. Semillon Vin de Paille is a low alcohol (7.5%) effort whose grapes were pressed when they ranged between 57-59 brix, almost unheard of numbers. It was fermented on indigenous yeasts for 15 months, and then bottled. One of the world's most creative wineries, Sine Qua Non is turning out world-class wines of extraordinary complexity and individuality.
