There's nothing like starting out with a bang, and that's exactly what Nikolas and Julia Krankl have done with their inaugural release...the 2017 Grenache Fingers Crossed is close to 80% Grenache with the balance Syrah and Mourvedre, that was 50% destemmed and brought up in just 35% new French oak. Rocking levels of cassis, black raspberries, cured meats, and ground pepper all emerge from the glass, and it's full-bodied and ethereal, with incredible purity of fruit. Hat off to this young winemaker for a world-class example of Grenache! | 98 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
