And the winner is?
I’ve been wanting to try both labels myself.
@Roman Sukley once again your post magnifies your talent - keep teaching bud
Sine Qua Non
Jinete Bajo Vin de Paille Roussanne 2008
Good things do come in small packages
Sounds sublime @Roman Sukley. Another example that I have not heard of.
Lillian Winery
California Rosé Blend 2012
What a stunner. Still holding up for a rose. Although I think the rosé name is more of a technicality. This is darker than most roses. Amazing nose. Strawberry, chamomile, green apple. The palate is rich and full bodied. Drinks more like a big Chardonnay than a light and crisp pink rose. It's my last bottle, but I think this would have gone even longer. — 8 years ago
Manfred's influence is rather apparent on this one.

Covert Fingers Pinot Noir 2004
Gorgeous wine, beautiful pic, and fantastic notes. Need to get my hands on this. PS: didn’t realize Manfred named this after our own @Bill Bender
I’ve had the Hollering ‘M and the No. 6 but they are both from Oregon fruit. I’ve never had an SQN Pinot noir that uses central coast grapes. How extraordinary to produce a balanced PN at 15% abv!! And yes @Joe Lucca covert fingers does capture my essence 😏
Kutch Wines
McDougall Ranch Pinot Noir 2012
How long did you decant this wine?
Maybe 2 hours then drank over another 3
Thanks! I am not surprised it needed a good long decant.
Harlan Estate
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1993
It’s just a Bordeaux blend @Ron R I doubt the Petit Verdot exceeds 5%.....I don’t know why Delectable identified it that way
@Ron R , what @Bill Bender said. I didn’t even catch it until I saw your comment.
Oh cool, guys. When I saw it, I thought, really??? I tasted a great PV from an Aussie producer... basket pressed from Pirramima (may require spell-check). But yes, Bill, as I recall, PV is typically used for blending.

Esto No Es Una Salida Grenache 2009
Couldn't agree more @Roman Sukley 🏀
What do you think of the Next of Kyn # 2, I'm thinking of getting a mag of it, o8 I believe
@Paul T Decidedly different style from SQN, but still with Manfred's signature touch. I personally think the latest release is probably the best so far, but I've enjoyed them all.
