Description:
Sine Qua NonNext of Kyn No. 6 Cumulus Vineyard Syrah2012
CA
"A wine that flirts with perfection, the 2012 Cumulus Vineyard #6 is an interesting blend of 38% Syrah, 37% Grenache, 17.4% Petite Sirah and the rest Mourvedre that saw 33 months in 54% new French oak. There's a tiny 191 cases made, and it's one of the most singular, exotic wines I've tasted. Spice, cedar, chocolate, exotic flowers and an assortment of dark fruits all emerge from this full-bodied, layered blend that hits the palate with serious richness and depth. Yet, like all truly great wines, it's light, ethereal and never, ever heavy. There's big structure here as well, so forget bottles for 3-4 years and enjoy over the following 15+ years." J. Dunnuck for TWA, 99 pts. 08/16
