McCrea Cellars Non Sequitur NV

This version of our perennially popular non sequitur changes it up with an emphasis on Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault -- the bigger, bolder varieties of the Rhône. Deep, dense, inky-purple hues lead to hints of pepper, peppermint and black cherry on the nose. Moderate tannins allow the red and plum fruits to come to the fore, expressing the power that these four fine vineyards are known for. A perfect wine for ribs or burgers, it finishes with a hint of blackstrap molasses, licorice overtones, and the tantalizing bite of bittersweet chocolate. - the winery

Previous Vintage Tasting Notes

Seattle Times Paul Gregutt says: "Here is a one-time-only gem showing the dazzling winemaking skills of Doug McCrea. Long story short, he latched onto some Cabernet franc, not your usual Rhone Ranger grape, and not knowing what else to do with it, tossed in about 1/3 syrah to come up with this nonvintage red blend that will take the enamel off your teeth while its dense fruit flavors knock the socks off your ankles."

Usually only available at the tasting room, this is one of the best red blends you can find at under $30.
