Next of Kyn
This is Manfred Krankl's new estate wine, which comes from his Cumulus vineyard in Ventura, about an hour up the coast from Los Angeles. "The climate here off the coast is very warm," he admits, "but we're up high, with great wind exposure, and the soil is heavy in limestone so the fruit flavors are extremely fresh." There's very little new oak used here right now, only 18% for this 2007. Krankl says that Next of Kyn is not meant to be a second label of Sine Qua Non. The wine will be an evolving blend of the varieties he has planted here, meaning syrah, grenache, touriga nacional, petite sirah, mourvedre and roussanne . . . so far. There is no bottle price because the wine is sold in a package of three bottles plus a magnum, for $1,100.
