Fingers Crossed Life & Death Syrah 2022 is a limited-production red wine from the Krankl family`s estate in California. This Syrah-dominant bottling highlights the intensity and depth achievable in the Oak View region, often incorporating a small percentage of Viognier for floral lift. The 2022 vintage displays a saturated purple hue and a complex bouquet of blackberries, smoked meats and violets. Aged for nearly 20 months in French oak, the wine possesses a voluminous mid-palate and a luxurious, velvet-like texture.

Tasted before bottling, the 2022 Syrah Life And Death is the first single-variety bottling from Fingers Crossed. It was sourced from Bien Nacido and Stolpman Vineyards, fermented with 18% whole clusters and aged for 21 months in 61% new French oak. True to the varietal makeup, the nose is darkly fruited and streaked with hints of black pepper, framed with a dusty, herbal quality that melds with touches of alcoholic heat. The palate is ripe, soft and luscious in texture, transitioning to a gritty, slightly hot finish. This was a moving target in the glass and could improve after bottling, although that back-end burn is problematic. - Matthew Luczy
