Interesting color in the glass between Starbright lemon and golden, moderately aromatic with yellow fruit and blossom, palate is dry, complex and integrated, ripe stone fruit leads with nectarines and a bit of apricot, melon, apple, sweet citrus bit of zest, lemon cream, acidity is bright, body medium +, finish will not quit. Happy we have another bottle in the cellar. (165 views) | | | Tasted by RichardsEric1 on 2/22/2024 & rated 91 points: A WTSO special. Great complexity and finesse to the flavors. You can almost taste the individual varieties. Really unique.

Palate. Straw, honey, oak.
Very interesting wine. (194 views) | | | Tasted by DrELW on 2/14/2024 & rated 88 points: This is a medium straw-yellow colored, hazy wine. The flavors are somewhat varietal of Roussanne and Marsanne with some lemon, apricot, and tropical fruit. The finish is flinty with some bitterness. The body is medium with an austere structure. This is a good wine, but it's not up to par with the good quality Rhone whites. (188 views) | | | Tasted by jshufelt on 9/29/2023 & rated 92 points: Pop and pour. In the glass, medium-pale gold. On the nose, honeysuckle, slate, and a hint of tropical fruit. On the palate, the tropical fruit comes to the fore - mango and passionfruit, with a bracing steely note that delivers tension, paired with a lean but smooth texture. (275 views) | | | Tasted by Quiet Lion on 8/5/2022 & rated 93 points: Delicious like most everything from Sanguis. This is a gorgeous Roussanne blend with clay soil notes balancing the savory white fruit and light citrus zest. I'm glad I'm in the club or I never would have bought the whites, which are remarkable. Prices have gone up here as everywhere but it's still one of the only clubs I belong to as the wines are wonderful and hard to buy on the aftermarket, perhaps in part because of all my tasting notes! Sorry not sorry. (529 views) |
| Sanguis Producer websiteRoussanne Wikipedia | Varietal character (Appellation America)USAAmerican 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

Central Coast AVA WikipediaSanta Ynez ValleyThe Santa Ynez Valley AVA is the largest wine sub-region of Santa Barbara County and has the highest concentration of vineyards. The valley runs from east to west, between the Purisima Hills and the San Rafael Mountains in the north, and the Santa Ynez Mountains in the south. Although the valley is open to the Pacific Ocean in the west, the fact that it is relatively narrow means that limited cool air and fog is funnelled in. Low average rainfall and a very long growing season make the region ideal for quality wine production.
The diverse climates of Santa Ynez Valley mean that a wide array of wines is produced. The cool, western part of the AVA is predominantly planted with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, accompanied by other aromatic white varieties. Botrytis cinerea (noble rot) is able to flourish here, allowing some outstanding dessert wines to be produced in suitable vintages. Further east, the cooling effect of the ocean is lessened as both vineyard elevation and average temperatures increase. This warmer part of Santa Ynez Valley is more suited to fuller-bodied grape varieties, such as Syrah and Merlot.
more ...s expected, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir thrive, while the more inland zones lay claim to Bordeaux varietals and some Rhone blends. |
