Lot #841. Sine Qua Non Next of Kyn Proprietary Red Cumulus Vineyard Release ~ No. 12 2018

Description: Consists of 2 Magnums, 1.5L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 100 JD.
"As with the 2017, the 2018 No 12 Cumulus Vineyard is as good as wine gets. Based on 47.7% Syrah, 23.4% Grenache, 21.3% Petite Sirah, 5.6% Mourvèdre, and the remaining 2% a mix of white varieties, aged 32 months in 34% new barrels, its vivid purple hue gives way to a full-bodied blockbuster of a wine that’s loaded with cassis and blue fruits as well as notes of gravelly earth, graphite, ground pepper, and spring flowers. Flawlessly balanced, deep, super-rich, and unctuous, yet with incredible purity, give bottles a year of two and enjoy over the following 15 years or more." Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com, Aug 2021
Provenance: The Phoque Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $1,500
