The 2009 White Wine Lotus of Siam is 88% Roussanne and 12% Viognier. It shows lovely nuance and delineation in its suggestions of tangerine, jasmine and cloves. Attractive floral notes are woven throughout. Lotus of Siam is a beguiling white, although it is a touch more obviously heavy than the best wines here. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017. Sanguis was founded by Matthias Pippig and his wife Jamie Kinser in 2004. These artisan, small production wines are made from top vineyard sources in a style that emphasizes textural richness and depth. Each wine is a unique, unto itself creation down to the blends, names and labels. The best wines are quite promising and bode well for the future.Tel. (805) 686-3086
