JEB DUNNUCK 100 POINTS - "The extended barrel-aged 2021 Grenache Eleven Confessions Vineyard comes from a blend of 86.1% Grenache, 8.5% Syrah, 4.4% Petite Sirah, and 1% Viognier. Fermented with 55% whole clusters and aged 38 months in just under 30% new French demi-muids, it offers an extraordinary bouquet of sweet redcurrants, black cherries, Provençal herbs, licorice, kirsch liqueur, and ground pepper that’s absolutely captivating. One of the most intellectual Grenache releases from the Krankls, it’s anything but light or under-fruited, delivering a full-bodied, voluptuous mouthfeel, flawless balance, ultra-fine tannins, and a finish that simply doesn’t quit. This magical effort underscores the Krankls’ meticulous attention to detail, relentless work ethic, and sheer talent in both vineyard and cellar. I would not hesitate to place it among the greatest Grenache-based wines ever produced – 1990 Bonneau Réserve des Célestins, 2007 Giraud Grenaches de Pierre, 2007 Clos des Papes, 2010 Clos Saint Jean Deus ex Machina, and 2005 Barroche Cuvée Pure. It’s that good. Drink 2027-2042."
