Super interesting co-fermented blend of 45% Petite Sirah, 45% Roussanne, 6% Grenache and 4% Syrah.

Deep and dark purplish red. Layered nose with tons of dark chocolate floating out of the glass. Layers of dark berries, black pepper, white pepper, purple floral notes, spices and herbs. Got a bit more savory and gamey as it opened up. Moderate tannins (6.6/10) and medium plus body. Kept getting fuller as it breathed. Big and juicy with dark cocoa, tight dark berries, bramble, dark spices, a touch of heat and anise in the finish. Long and lingering finish. Quite heavy and needs some time to fully integrate. Great wine. Drink from 2019 till 2026.

Need to go grab a few more tomorrow!

En échange with @Greg Ballington ! He knew I was jealous of never having white glove wine service, so he enabled me to recreate the experience at home 😂😂 Thank you!!!!

This is an extraordinarily interesting wine!! The back label makes a point of keeping the blend secret, so I won't mention it. But it is unique and very enjoyable!

So floral in the glass but meaty on the palate.

Although this would please anyone, I think a wine nerd would love it!

My first Sanguis experience. Love it.

What a Christmas treat! Co-fermentation project by Mattias (petite sirah with Roussane). Nose of flowers and stewed fruits. Chewy and tannic, melted chocolate, dark fruits - flat out delicious.

Tastes like mostly Syrah, earthy, big, slight tannins but balanced. Slight licorice, more tarragon on the nose. Light blackberries.

Very, very dark, mysterious black fruit and tarragon, and perhaps some sassafras, with a touch of salinity on the finish.

This wine knocked my socks off...fantastic! This is the wine that turned me into a Sanguis fan. Intense but just phenomenal.
