title: Sanguis 2012 Verve Grenache (Central Coast)
description: The bouquet on this wine by Matthias Pippig is rather thick for the grape, with dark strawberry, black raspberry and red-cherry fruit warmed up by snapped sage sticks, sarsaparilla, slate earthiness and a touch of tobacco. Black plum and red currant show on the dense palate, where sticky tannins present black peppercorn, raw beef and eucalyptus complexity.
