Next of Kyn No. 3 Cumulus Vineyard 2009 is a Syrah-led Central Coast blend from Manfred and Elaine Krankl’s separate but closely associated project. K& L’s listing gives the blend, ageing and alcohol level, while Vinous notes on the same page describe a dark-fruited, spicy and balanced wine that remained rewarding with bottle age.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: K& L-cited reviews mention lively black fruits, pepper, roasted meat, dark cherry, cloves, menthol and licorice.
- Palate: Seamless, layered and rich but focused, with sweet tannin and blackberry/cherry-cola depth in the cited reviews.
- Finish: Long, powerful and balanced, with five-spice, smoke and dark-fruit persistence in the published tasting summaries.
Best For
