Like so many of his colleagues, Manfred Krankl describes 2012 as a vintage in which conditions were pretty much ideal. Still, the wines become softer than expected pretty much right after pressing. Krankl goes on to describe 2011 as a huge, unexpected surprise. Frankly, the strong showing of the 2011s isn't that big of a surprise, as the wines have always been fabulous. Sine Qua Non now farms 62 acres of vineyards across 4 ranches that span numerous appellations and microclimates, which gives Krankl the ability to fine tune his blends according to the qualities of specific vintages. For example, Cumulus, the home vineyard and a warm site, adds richness in cooler years, while Eleven Confessions might be favored in warmer years, where the cooler microclimate adds balance. After having spent most of the last year visiting the reference-point estates in France, Italy and California, I was blown away not just by the quality of what I tasted, but by the maniacal attention to detail that informs everything that happens at Sine Qua Non. Any way you look at it, these wines are magnificent. In addition to the estate's current and upcoming releases, I also tasted a handful of older wines, which I include here.

.The last visit of my quick week in the SouthCentralCoast was the highlight of my trip.Halfway through my tasting, Manfred Krankl showed me a couple of syrahs aged-or destined to age-in oak for 39 months, a figure that I have more than once reported as the length of time Guigal's La-La wines stay in barrel.Perhaps it was just the power of suggestion, but I had the feeling that I was tasting La Landonne or La Turque.And then Krankl administered the coup de grace, with his otherworldly series of sweet wines bottled under the Mr. K label.They were a fitting end to a week's worth of improbably ripe, sweet wines.
