Sanguis
Out of Line Chardonnay Blend
Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, USA
First of the whites today for our blind tasting.
Medium to deep golden yellow. Seems like it has had quite a bit of skin contact. Layered and a touch of age on the nose with honeysuckle. dark citrus, floral and woody notes. Moderate acidity (6/10) with some oaky like tannins. Dark stone fruits and tree fruits on the attack with honeycomb and a touch buttery on the mid palate. Medium bodied with a long finish. Drink till 2019.
Out of the two options, definitely a Chardonnay over a Chenin Blanc.

An #Easter treat I brought out. People need to know how to hold onto their wines! This is in such a great spot. Drink up! Beautiful acidity and such a perfume at this stage. @Matthias Pippig , bravo.

Gold color. The Roussanne adds some richness and stone fruit.

Nose full of vanilla - with hay, minerals, and lemon on the tongue. Very rich.
