Fingers Crossed Life & Death White 2022 is a rich and textured white blend from the Krankl family`s California winery. This cuvée is composed of Roussanne, Chardonnay and Viognier, sourced from premium vineyards that emphasise ripeness and weight. The 2022 release is defined by its oily, viscous mouthfeel and an aromatic profile of honeysuckle, apricot and toasted almonds. Fermented and aged in a mix of new and seasoned oak, the wine maintains a surprising level of vibrancy amidst its opulent structure.

Tasted prior to its July bottling date, the 2022 White Wine Life And Death is a blend of 69.5% Chardonnay, 26.9% Roussanne and 3.6% Marsanne from the Sanford & Benedict, Bien Nacido and Stolpman Vineyards. It spent 22 months in 85% new French oak. The nose here is a striking combination of waxy and layered aromas of stone fruit, tropical fruits, bright spice tones and an undercurrent of pleasing caramel richness. The palate is lavish and quite full-bodied, displaying impressive power and polish while remaining energetic and focused. It concludes with a succulent, clean acid profile that welcomely braces its otherwise massive frame. This was very enjoyable and should be fascinating to follow through bottling into its aging curve.
