2011 pas de deux — 91 pts from Vinous Media 

Kukku­la’s 2011 pas de deux is beau­ti­ful­ly focused and delin­eat­ed in this vin­tage. Sage, rose­mary, worn-in leather and dried red cher­ries all take shape in the glass. All the best ele­ments of the Kukku­la style come togeth­er in this gra­cious, deeply expres­sive Syrah/​Grenache blend. Hints of spice and crushed flow­ers linger on the close.
