2019 The Third Twin Graciano (Sine Qua Non) California

"There are a tiny 74 cases of the 2019 Graciano, but this cuvée will grow in quantity going forward. Based on 90% Graciano, 6% Petite Sirah, and 4% Syrah that saw 32% stems, it's a beastie of a wine sporting a dense purple hue, incredible notes of blue fruits, wild strawberries, candied violets, cigar, pepper, and leather, full-bodied richness, ultra-fine tannins, and good acidity, which is the hallmark of this variety. This ripe, powerful, balanced, singular wine will evolve for two decades." - Jeb Dunnuck Review Date: August 2022
