RATINGS

96-99Jeb Dunnuck

...gamey, classic Syrah perfume of blackberries, bouquet garni, ground black pepper, and smoked bacon fat...full-bodied, plush, has a round, sexy mouthfeel, and a blockbuster finish.

93The Wine Advocate

...hints of black pepper, framed with a dusty, herbal quality that melds with touches of alcoholic heat...palate is ripe, soft and luscious in texture, transitioning to a gritty, slightly hot finish.

92-94Vinous / IWC

Inky dark fruit, leather, spice, menthol, dried herbs and mocha fill out the layers.

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.

TYPE

Red Wine, Syrah (Shiraz)

This grape is grown in milder climates and produces a medium-to full-bodied wine. It is also known as Shiraz, but should not be confused with Petit Sirah, which was developed by crossing Syrah with Peloursin.
