The Last Vintage of Sine Qua Non Pinot: 2005 Over & Out Pinot Noir
Sine Qua Non produces only small amounts each year so they are mostly allocated to their exclusive list of clients with limited remaining bottles traded as single bottles. Located in Central Coast in the United Status, wines are usually blended with grapes in Rhone Valley such as Syrah, Gernache and also some white grapes like Marsanne.
Besides the great quality, what makes Sine Qua Non special, is that all the cuvees made by Sine Qua Non are given a unique new name each year, as well as the bottles and labels which are always unique to every single wine made each year so are great bottles to collect.
They only produce eight vintages of Pinot Noir and discontinued after 2005. The grapes come from Shea Vineyard in Oregon before 2003 and in 2004 & 2005, the grapes were sourced in the Sta. Rita Hills. 2005 is the final vintage that Sina Qua Non produces Pinot Noir and afterwards they focus on other grape varieties in Rhone.
A very unique collection for every Pinot Noir cellar, I am happy to offer:

Sadly, Sine Qua Non’s final Pinot Noir will be the 2005 “Over and Out” Arita Hills Vineyard. That’s a shame as their Pinot Noir has always been one of my favorites – always rich and full-flavored rather than a dumb-downed, wimpish, and diluted faux-French imitation. This beauty has put on considerable weight since I tasted it twelve months ago. Made from Dijon clones 115 and 777, it reveals a classic Cotes de Nuits-like perfume of damp forest floor intermixed with sweet cherries, plums, figs, and spring flowers. This could easily be mistaken for a Clos de la Roche from Morey St.-Denis, but with purer fruit and a more savory texture. Dominated by its beautiful fruit and complexity, with the oak component kept in the background, it should drink well for 8-10 years.
