A garnet colored beauty with floral nose that gave off a lot of alcohol. Dark cherry and blackberry at first blush and then a taste I could not place on mid palate Another review said bubble gum... I am going to go with that! The alcohol is 15.3% which is a touch heavy. I like the sweetness of the Viognier but I'm not sure it would be for everyone. I enjoy this wine and it has plenty of life left, just not one of Sanguis best wines. 93+

1.5. P&P Dark but not looking extracted. Nice floral nose, but very latent. Big juicy fruit on entry. Some dusty smoky tannins. Some heat heaviness from Alcohol.
Big Cali Syrah. Bit over the top. The alch is heavy stuff.

Round and fruity Syrah with medium body and a hint of tangerine from the Viogner. Sanguis keeps it fresh with all their slightly different cuvees, all enjoyable.

Wow this a big bruiser of a wine...from a magnum. Double decanted for approx 2 hours. This came off as a bit monolithic right now but it had lots of good fruit and structure. Given it was a magnum, may be developing slowly.

Big,bold syrah with dense fruit and black fruit structure. Nice but likely still evolving.
