Sanguis Infidels 2006 Syrah
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 is an impressive group of wines that, from an appearance standpoint, are clones of Manfred Krankl’s Sine Qua Non, especially the distinctive artistic labels done by the proprietor, much like Krankl does, and the back-breaking heavy bottles.
