Sanguis
Sanguis produces wines from California's Central Coast, a region defined by maritime influence and diverse microclimates that shape distinctive expressions across varietals. The winery's portfolio centers on Syrah and white Rhône blends. Six White Horses Syrah and Handful of Ghosts—a blend of Chardonnay, Roussanne, and Viognier—represent the upper tier of the range, both rated 97 by prestige critics Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate. As The Crow Flies, a Viognier and Syrah blend, follows at 96. The focus on Syrah reflects the Central Coast's capacity for dark-fruited, structured reds, while the white blend program draws on the region's aptitude for aromatic, mineral-driven whites. These wines have been assessed by major wine publications, anchoring the winery's output in critical evaluation.
