November 9, 2020 - In a blind tasting people thought it was 3-5 years old - tons of energy. There’s a great mix of umami & richness with red/purple fruit & spice. Great acid profile at 11 years old.

July 30, 2020 - Pop and pour. This bottle showed even better than the magnum. The Levity is a masculine yet light Grenache blend with a healthy 32% Syrah giving it some dark fruit and licorice to go with the red berries and spice. Some Viognier, a Sanguis signature, gives it a hint of citrus. A beautiful wine that paired well with sous vide pork chops with Dijon mustard sauce.

April 17, 2020 - This is a full bodied Grenache right in the middle of its drinking window, with a little Syrah mixed in. It has intense flavors of red and blue fruits with enough body, acidity and heat to accompany grilled pork tenderloin.

December 8, 2019 - From magnum. This is showing beautifully with funky dark fruit and a touch of citrus. Drink now.

July 22, 2018 - Big fruit, both red and dark, from the mixture of Grenache and Syrah. Viognier softens and sweetens the mix to make a big wine a pleasure to drink.
