| Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by jshufelt on 3/6/2018 & rated 92 points: Pop and pour. In the glass, pale, slightly cloudy yellow. On the nose, equal parts honeysuckle and toasty oak. On the palate, lemon, orange, and smoke married to a lush, not-quite-viscous texture, with a long finish. While this is completely approachable now, I feel like there may still be several years at this level, and possibly even a bit more positive evolution.

We drank it right after the Antica Terra Phantasi and I gotta say it just didn't live up. Came across as thin and much less interesting. More of a tart flavor to it. Holding off on scoring as I think it might just have been the two wines didn't work together.

(1262 views) | | | Tasted by Gabe on 7/12/2013 & rated 91 points: Popped and poured. Fragrant nose with pineapple and other fresh tropical notes. Big fruit with a nice lingering finish and supple mouthfeel. My wife described it as buttery but I'm not sure of that. I'd call it more creamy. Bottom line is Mr. Pippig does not disappoint. I'm continually impressed by his wines and have found them to age gracefully. (1835 views) | | | Tasted by mikeaukenbals on 2/17/2013 & rated 88 points: decent, but the finish was a bit odd. (2016 views) | | | Tasted by kstoddard on 11/28/2012 & rated 90 points: Sanguis Dinner with Mattias Pippig (Cowboy Ciao): 95% Chardonnay, 4% Rousanne, and 1% Viognier. Golden color. Tropical fruit nose with some popcorn oak notes. Tastes of apple, melon, and cinnamon. Large vanilla oak backbone needs some more time to better integrate. Medium to full bodied. Nice freshness and acidity. Rich fruit forward finish with some good depth of fruit. (2484 views) |
| Sanguis Producer websiteChardonnay BlendGrenacheUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
