Totally thrilling stuff that’s made from dried Grenache grapes, the 2007 Sine Qua Non Grenache To The Rescue Vin de Paille boasts staggering purity and focus, with decadently sweet notes of crème de cassis, raspberry ganache, and spice aromas that just soar from the glass. Full bodied, impeccably built, and tasting like a top Bussola Recioto, with thrilling sweetness and richness yet no weight, this unctuous dessert wine should not be missed. While youthful now, and perhaps lacking some complexity, it’s so well done, it’s hard not to gulp down and search around frantically for the bottle. So, I think it will age, but I say drink up.

The 2007 To the Rescue Grenache Vin de Paille appears to be a much improved version of the 2005 Grenache Vin de Paille I tasted last year. It possesses 295 grams of residual sugar per liter as well as remarkable acidity, sweetness, and richness, an inky/purple color, and classic aromas of cassis. In spite of its weight, intensity, and unctuosity, the wine is surprisingly delicate and nuanced on the palate. (RP)

Saturated purple. Primary blueberry and boysenberry aromas are complicated by notes of tobacco, candied flowers and smoky minerals. Reminds me of a young vintage port, offering sweet dark berry compote flavors and muskier floral pastille and herbal qualities. This very rich wine finishes with strong sweetness and gentle tannic grip. This will be fun to match with pungent washed rind and blue cheeses. (JR)

Distinctive and stunning, this dense wine starts out syrupy, luscious and grapey, showing ripe blackberry, date and cassis flavors, with peppercorn details, that evolve to distinctive chocolate raspberry torte on the finish, with warm, firm tannins. (MW)
