RATINGS

97+ The Wine Advocate

...Offering up aromas of cherry pit and balsamic cherries, subtly framed by creamy new oak... ...amazingly saturated in color. On the palate, it's velvety, full-bodied and richly tannic, almost preternaturally concentrated in character, but remarkably supple and expansive despite its formidable levels of extract and structure. It's a singular wine, even by Krankl's standards. WK (8/2018)

96Jeb Dunnuck

...This beauty packs some power and offers thrilling notes of smoked black and blue fruits, white chocolate, graphite, and cured meats. It picks up a beautiful violet character with time in the glass, is full-bodied, has terrific acidity, and building structure. It’s a singular beauty by this genius winemaker... (10/2018)

REGION

United States, California, Central Coast

Central Coast AVA is a huge wine producing area that extends from Santa Barbara County in the south to San Francisco in the north. With more than 100,000 vineyard acres, it includes parts of six counties near the Pacific Ocean. Nearly 20 smaller AVAs lie within the Central Coast AVA. Central Coast earned appellation status in 1985. Included in the appellation are parts of the counties of Contra Costa, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz. Nearly every grape varietal grown in California is grown somewhere in the Central Coast AVA, though Chardonnay accounts for nearly 50% of the entire wine grape crop.
