RATINGS

96Jeb Dunnuck

...boasts a smoking nose of buttered almonds, caramelized lemons, brioche, and toasted spices. Just bottled, it's opulent and concentrated on the palate yet still flawlessly balanced and is a powerful yet elegant white that does everything right... ...more than a passing resemblance to Beaucastel’s Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc Vieilles Vignes...

95The Wine Advocate

The nose is wonderfully fragrant, offering up scents of honeysuckle and jasmine over a cocktail of white peaches, pink grapefruit and lime cordial. The full-bodied palate lends delicious savory accents, marked by a refreshing backbone that counters beautifully the opulent, satiny texture. It has a long, energetic finish.

PRODUCER

Fingers Crossed

Fingers Crossed, (formerly "FÆTHM") is the project from Nikolas Krankl, son of celebrated winemaker and creator of Sine Qua Non, Manfred Krankl. Nikolas and wife Julia began production in 2017 and released their first allocation in the spring of 2020. Describing their style as “…unabashedly Californian; sun-kissed wines that are decadent, perfumed, opulent and regal,” their offerings take some inspiration from SQN, including two different Syrahs, one of which is sourced just feet from the vineyard where Manfred produced SQN’s first Syrah ‘Queen of Spades’ in 1994.
