"The 2006 Infidels has come on like gangbusters since I rated it from barrel last year. It is a provocative wine that may be controversial to many people, but I fell in love with it this year. It tips the scales at 15.5% alcohol and is a blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Grenache from vineyards in the Santa Barbara area. Sweet ripe cassis, melted licorice, chocolate, blueberry pie, and spring flowers are all present in this dense, full-bodied wine that, despite its massive size and full-bodied power, has surprising elegance, purity, and depth. This may well turn out to be the best wine I have yet tasted from Sanguis, and I am still aghast at how I didn’t see this much quality coming from the barrel sample I tasted last year."
