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.

13' Sanguis Beekeeper. A blending of Chardonnay, Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier.
Nose - Abundance of flowers & perfume.
Can peaches, roasted pine nuts, white pepper, white peaches, mango. Lingering aftertaste of spices & creamy /silky textures 🤔. Rich & complexed. I dig it!
Not much like this on the market. This is a wine I would "not"pop for a crowd of people. — 7 years ago
Birthday party BYO wine #2. Nice way to avoid the host's warm Ménage a Trois (that's a wine swilled by the masses BiilB) on 90 degree afternoon. Full-bodied and full- flavored for a Rosé, it is sexy and fitting of its label. Went well with catered street tacos. — 8 years ago

Wow. @Matthias Pippig killer stuff today. Started out with an unpleasant funk that blew off in about 30 seconds. After that it was all beautiful, luscious black and blue fruits with some savory complicating flavors. An awesome beauty!! Kudos. Wish I had more. — 7 years ago
Unbelievably luscious mouth feel - fruit upfront but subtle in all ways - amazing finish -- having bison steak with blue cheese fondue and really wonderful with it — 7 years ago
Nose full of vanilla - with hay, minerals, and lemon on the tongue. Very rich. — 8 years ago
Dr. Owen Bargreen
Always a proprietary blend, in 2015 winemaker Mattias Pippig has composed the 'Misfit' using Syrah with Grenache, Cabernet Franc, Petite Syrah and Viognier. Inky and dense in the glass, the wine slowly yields intense aromas of mocha, Asian spice, crème de cassis and damp earth aromatics that all build in the glass. The palate shows sensational weight and texture, while the Viognier adds some floral tones on the mid-palate. Dense dark fruits connect with coffee grounds and creosote flavors as it displays a sensational combination of weight and poise. An absolutely fabulous wine, this should continue to evolve beautifully for over a decade. Drink 2019-2035- 94 — 5 years ago
