Next of Kyn
This is a tremendous set of wines from Elaine and Manfred Krankl. There’s plenty going on at Sine Qua Non these days, starting with a new winery in the Sta. Rita Hills that I was able to see prior to opening. The intensely colored building on Santa Rosa Road is pretty hard to miss. The Krankls expect to move some of their production to this facility in the near future. That could be a pretty big deal for a region that lacks a physical presence of iconic estates. Elaine and Manfred Krankl were visionaries in identifying the eastern sector of the Sta. Rita Hills as an ideal spot for Rhône varieties more than twenty years ago when virtually no one was thinking about Grenache and Syrah here. That spot, which the Krankls define as “a warm site in a cool region,” is now Eleven Confessions. The same daring spirit runs through newer projects, Next of Kyn and The Third Twin, which emerge from estate vineyards in Oak View and Los Alamos, respectively. Readers will want to snap up these wines, as production in 2022 is down a whopping 50%.
