Sine Qua Non, Backward & Forward, White--Vintage 1998
Santa Barbara
"The 1998 Roussanne and Chardonnay Backward and Forward is a blend of 30 Roussanne, 40 Chardonnay, and 30 Viognier. This effort is almost over the top, but I suspect when it is put together it will be sumptuous. The color is evolved, but the wine has surprisingly lively acidity for its richness and massive power. Notes of white peaches, honeyed apricots, coconut, and exotic fruits (was it mango or passion fruit?) challenge the olfactory senses. Full-bodied, dry, and thickly-textured, it should be a remarkable and individualistic white wine from Elaine and Manfred Krankl." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #127 (Feb 2000)
