Rich and amber-hued, this dessert wine offering from cult winery, Sine Qua Non is crafted from 100% botrytized Viognier. Harvested at 42 brix, it's a remarkable elixir that offers up notes of ripe apricot, orange marmalade, mace and vanilla. Concentrated, waxy and viscous. There is enough acidity to bolster hedonistic flavors of bruised pear, golden raisin, clover honey and whole cloves on the finish. Ample spice notes gather like an impending storm on the tip of the tongue. Exotic and very memorable.
