The Winery
Next of Kyn
Next of Kyn was introduced by the talented Manfred and Elaine Krankl in 2007 as a completely separate operation from his Sine Qua Non wines. Next of Kyn wines are sourced from their Cumulus Vineyard that is planted around their estate in Oakview. Each Next of Kyn release are sold in box set which contains three 750ml and one magnum. Production is extremely low, so getting your hands on these phenomenal bottles could be tough, but we have quite the selection!
Summary
The 2016 Next of Kyn Syrah from Cumulus Vineyard is a remarkable wine crafted by the esteemed Manfred and Elaine Krankl, sourced exclusively from their estate in Ventura County. This vintage, a blend of 46% Syrah, 19% Grenache, 18.3% Petite Sirah, 15.3% Mourvèdre, and 1.4% Petit Manseng, underwent an extended maturation of 34 months in French oak, 75% of which was new. Characterized by its deep, opaque purple-black hue, it presents an intense aromatic profile featuring ripe dark fruits, spices, and earthy undertones. The mouthfeel is full-bodied with sweet tannins and a lingering finish, showcasing the wine's complexity and potential for aging.
