Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the exceptional 2003 Sine Qua Non Mr K The Nobleman Chardonnay. This wine is a true masterpiece, crafted by the revered Sine Qua Non winery located in the Central Coast region of California, USA. With its golden hue and elegant label, this wine promises a captivating experience.

The 2003 vintage was a remarkable year for Sine Qua Non, with the Mr K The Nobleman Chardonnay showcasing the epitome of their winemaking prowess. Made entirely from botrytised fruit, this Chardonnay boasts an astonishing 278 grams of residual sugar per liter, balanced by 9.9 grams of acid per liter. It is no surprise that this wine has garnered a well-deserved score of 94 points from the reputable Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.

Upon pouring, this Chardonnay reveals its lusciousness, with a thick and unctuous texture that coats the palate in a symphony of flavors. Honeyed notes dance alongside a brilliant richness, creating a harmonious balance that captivates the senses. The complexity of this wine is truly astonishing, with layers of depth that unfold with each sip.

The vineyard sources for this wine have gradually shifted towards 100% estate fruit from vineyards in the Santa Rita Hills and nearby sites in Ventura County. However, in this vintage, some grapes were sourced from other esteemed vineyards, including the Alban Vineyard and the Grenache and Syrah from Alban Alta Mesa Bien Nacido Shadow Canyon and White Hawk vineyards.

The 2003 vintage posed significant challenges with remarkably low yields. Yet, despite these obstacles, Sine Qua Non managed to produce a wine that stands as a testament to their dedication and expertise. This Chardonnay is a true rarity, with only 537 cases of half bottles available.
