Manfred and Elaine Krankl’s Next of Kyn wines, from their Oakview estate, are once again superb. Next to Sine Qua Non, Next of Kyn is less focused in either Grenache or Syrah, but instead really benefits from a more diversified blend. The 2009 is off the charts, while the 2010 I found less expressive. Lastly, the Touriga Nacional, one of the newer wines in the Krankl range, is simply breathtaking.

I was blown away by the Next of Kyn wines this year. As I have written elsewhere in this article, Elaine and Manfred Krankl will probably always be best known for Sine Qua Non, but Next of Kyn is every bit as impressive.
