Next of Kyn is Elaine and Manfred Krankl’s project focused on their Cumulus estate vineyard in Oak View. It is hard to believe, but Next of Kyn Cumulus Vineyard is now on its eleventh release. Time flies. A more recent bottling of Touriga Nacional is proving to be every bit as compelling.

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.
