"The 2017 Syrah Fingers Crossed is composed of 90% Syrah, 5% Grenache, 2% Mourvèdre and 3% Roussanne, coming from Bien Nacido vineyard and Manfred and Elaine Krankl’s Third Twin and Cumulus vineyards, employing 25% whole cluster. It was aged for 21 months in French oak, 56% new, and was bottled at the beginning of July 2019. Deep garnet-purple in color, it bursts from the glass with black fruit preserves, baked black cherries and boysenberries with wafts of violets, chocolate box, star anise, cardamom and Sichuan pepper. Full-bodied, the palate is jam-packed with taut, ripe, black fruits, well-supported by firm, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long with an invigorating herbal lift. Very tight and youthful at the moment, it should be slow to evolve and offer a good two decades of pleasure."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
