2017 sine qua non, the hated hunter, california

Jeb Dunnuck

Named after Manfred’s grandfather, the 2017 Syrah The Hated Hunter is 82.4 Syrah, 7.8 Petite Sirah, 5.2 Mourvèdre, 2 Grenache, and the rest a mix of white varieties that spent just over 23 months in 59 new French oak. A classic 2017, it has an incredible nose of spice red and black fruits, ground pepper, dried flowers, and sandalwood. With full-bodied richness, no hard edges, gorgeous purity of fruit, and a finish that won't quit, it has everything you could want from a bottle of wine.
