The 2018 Sine Qua Non Red Blend Next of Kyn Vineyard from Central Coast offers a rich and complex profile with dark berry fruits, Italian leather, kirsch, sandalwood, and subtle dried floral notes. It is full-bodied with a seamless, graceful texture and ultra-fine tannins that provide a long, elegant finish. The wine’s balance and depth recall the finesse of top-tier Rhône blends, showcasing both power and refinement. This vintage is particularly polished, making it approachable now while rewarding some additional aging. It pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, game birds, or hearty mushroom dishes, enhancing its layered flavors.
