I did bot care for it. There is a bitter medicinal finish a bit like aspirin. Not for me.

We are big fans of Sanguis and opened this shortly after getting the delivery. And we were also underwhelmed, especially taking into account that I actually prefer some of their whites to their reds. At that point, I would've rated it 89/90. So we took the advice and popped the bottle back in the fridge and opened it the next day and sure enough the wine had evolved substantially. The color is a medium/dark yellow, with an above average viscosity. Initial nose was really tight, lots of minerality, not giving much away. Day two nose was expansive, more Burgundian: burnt caramel, saline, lemon peel with just a very pleasant note of oakiness lurking. I love how the rousanne softens the wine too, all the while maintaining some bright acidity. So definitely lay these down, at least a few years. There's complexity to be had here under the right circumstances.

Nice, but not my glass of wine. Flash forward 2 days of this sitting in the fridge under vacu-seal, and WOW! The Rhone flavors have awakened and are shining bright. Much more viscous as well. Honeysuckle, apple, apricot, lychee flavors. Nice acid to balance the fruit too. Paired extremely well with poached salmon and broccoli. Drink now - 2029. (723 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
