In flagrante Syrah 2000 Sine Qua Non

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (96)

The 2000 In Flagrante (a 725-case blend of 86% Syrah, 10% Grenache, and 4% Viognier) is a world-class, provocative effort. It reveals many of the same aromatic and flavor components found in the 2001 Midnight Oil and 2002 Syrah-dominated, unnamed offering. A black color is followed by a seamless effort loaded with blackberry, honey, and flower aromas, and an extraordinarily long, concentrated finish. As with all great wines, tasting notes/descriptors just can’t do it justice. Among the recent SQN Syrahs, it is a strikingly elegant and powerful wine that has a decidedly French flair to it.

Winespectator (90)

A rich yet elegant and fruity style that builds complexity. Zesty wild berry and raspberry, with beef and pepper scents, a touch of cedar and oak pushing forth on the finish.
