Rare 2022 release from cult winery Fingers Crossed.

100 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Another singular, as well as absolutely perfect, wine from this remarkable family team, the Fingers Crossed 2022 Syrah Life And Death is 100% Syrah from Bien Nacido and Stolpman vineyards, aged 21 months in 61% new oak. It has a deep ruby/purple hue as well as a classic Bien Nacido nose of blackberries, pepper, iodine, and iron notes, with perfectly integrated background spicy oak. Deep, pure, elegant, and beautifully balanced on the palate, it has full-bodied richness, integrated acidity, and a seamless profile. This is stunning stuff that will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and can be enjoyed over the following two decades. Drink 2027-2047."

"The son of Manfred Krankl at Sine Qua Non, Nicolas, along with his wife Julia, created Faethm (Now Called Fingers Crossed) in 2017, and their first release, which immediately sold out, went live in 2019. I can’t recall a new estate that has impressed me as much right out of the gate and these 2017 and 2018s are truly brilliant wines.” - Jeb Dunnuck
