Fingers Crossed Life & Death Red 2022 is a boutique California red blend produced by Nikolas and Julia Krankl in Oak View. This cuvée typically leads with Syrah and is supplemented by Grenache, Mourvèdre and small amounts of white varieties to enhance aromatic complexity. The 2022 label features striking original artwork and reflects the Krankls` meticulous approach to viticulture and low-intervention winemaking. The wine is intensely concentrated, offering a decadent profile of black fruits, incense and cracked pepper. Despite its power, the palate remains balanced by a fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins that suggest a long life ahead in the cellar.
