$249.99California
Wine Advocate 97 Rating
Tectumque means “shelter” in Latin. This wine was initially going to be called “Inconnue” (“unknown” in French), but that name had already been trademarked. “Naming wines is becoming impossible,” mentioned Manfred. “Everything has already been taken. Even, 'No Name!'” This is a blend of 38% Roussanne, 31% Petit Manseng, 18% Chardonnay, 9% Viognier and 4% Muscat. The vineyard components are 52% Cumulus Estate, 19% Eleven Confessions Estate, 18% Bien Nacido Vineyard and 11% The Third Twin Estate.

Sine Qua Non 2022 Grenache Distenta IV
$299.99Central Coast California
Jeb Dunnuck 98 Rating
Moving to the reds from barrels, the 2022 Grenache Distenta IV is another ripe, opulent, sexy wine in the vintage that’s going to check in near the top of the scale. Black raspberries, ground pepper, herbes de Provence, and sandalwood are just some of its nuances, and it’s full-bodied, rich, concentrated, and velvety textured on the palate. It’s a stunner of a wine based on 78% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 7.3% Mourvedre, and the rest Petite Sirah and white varieties. R42-3

Sine Qua Non 2022 Syrah Distenta IV
$299.99Central Coast California
Jeb Dunnuck 98 Rating
Incorporating 6% Grenache, 5% Petite Sirah, 3% Mourvèdre, and 3% white varieties, the 2022 Syrah Distenta IV is another ripe, layered, full-bodied 2022 that’s going to deliver the goods. Ample blue fruits, kirsch liqueur, pepper, and tons of spicy notes all shine here, and this puppy has a layered, velvety mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, no hard edges, and awesome length. It’s going to shine right out of the gate and is a good counterpoint to the more focused, cooler styled 2021s. R38-4

Sinegal Estate 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon
$69.99 – $660.00Napa Valley California
Jeb Dunnuck 94 Rating
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon comes mostly from estate fruit and checks in as 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% each of Malbec and Petit Verdot, and the rest Merlot and Cabernet Franc. There are around 10,000 cases, so you should be able to find bottles, and I suspect it’s going to be a great value. Giving up lots of jammy blackberries, tobacco, sweet oak, and subtle cassis, it’s medium to full-bodied, has a round, delicious style, and the balance and structure to evolve for 10-15 years.

Dense and expansive on the palate, the Petite Sirah and Zinfandel blend reveals lush, generous flavors of black cherry, cedar and sweet tobacco. The 2021 shows big, upfront primary fruit while revealing refreshing acidity and a supple, long lived finish.
