  June 20, 2011 - Disclaimer, I am generally a big fan of the Sanguis whites.
  
  This wine is AWESOME. Yes, if you do not like full blown, rollercoaster ride whites, this wine is not for you. Absolutely delicious with Roussanne dominating the palate on orange oil, lime zest, butterscotch, and a beautiful florality that gives great complexity. The mouthfeel is HUGE while still having great acidity and balance. Well, well done, Sanguis.
  
  Of note is the blend, 58% Roussanne, 40% Malvasia Bianca, 2% Viognier. There should be more alternative whites such as this. There's no reasons the Rhone whites can't be blended up all crazy like the way the reds are. And frankly, this beats the pants off of any domestic Red Rhone blend I've had in ages.
  
  Excellent.
