The Thrill of Stamp Collecting Syrah

It remains a thrill to taste these wines from Krankl. Very sirah dominant with Some viognier to soften the wine. Fruit fwd, spicey, peppery. Wood fully integrated, lovely to drink now but can age another ten years easy. — 5 years ago

Cumulus Vineyard No. 6 Syrah Blend 2012

+1 hour decant(decent fine/cloudy sediment). A striking dark magenta color. On the nose: sweet black fruit, earthy mushroom, leather, bacon, floral. Taste: deep, dark, rich, and silky as you would expect from a Manfred Krankl wine with blackberry, dark chocolate, bacon fat, earth, and a long peppery coffee ground finish. YUM! — 3 months ago

Diamond Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Big peppermint/candy cane aroma and taste with some underlying herb. Really unique. I wouldn’t buy again though. — 4 years ago

Piranha Waterdance Syrah

This was stunning today; Elixir-esq concentration sporting deep bass notes, a plethora of vital high tones, some carbon, a little graphite and impeccable purity. It would have likely tasted delicious anywhere but to share it with the Krankl family and perfect gentleman turned SQN chevalier @Roman Sukley was an honour and a privilege. It was part of a diamond day and the summit of a 17 year pilgrimage that won’t be forgotten anytime soon. Thank you kindly Roman, Manfred, Elaine & August - 2014 — 5 years ago

Thanks @Bob McDonald - the trip has been incredible and we make our way through the Sta. Rita Hills up towards Napa to see some old friends today.

Birds of a feather @Fraser McKinley That 17 Grenache is destined for the SQN Hall of Fame, and the Graciano was a stand-out for me as well. Enjoy the rest of your trip and talk soon.
