final tasting notes

Suncé is Croatian for "sun" and American for "I wanna drink this whole bottle."

TWANG - THWACK. ugggggggggggh.

GAAAAAH IT HURTS. EEEnnnnggGGGG. This is it for me, partner. I'm - AAAAAGGGHGGHGHGH. I'm done for. Wha's that…nnnngh…what'd you say? Describe the - describe the wine? Ehhhhhhghhghghg. Can't you see I caught an arrow in the gut, friend?

AW GAWD. I ain't got much longer, 'fraid. FFFSSSTTT FFFFSSSST.

Listen, uuuuuuuuuuuuunnnngggghhhhh - tell my wife back in -- sorry, what? It was a red wine, OK? No wait, there were a buncha different wines - a mix pack or something. It's all a bit foggy. Tell my son…ACKACKACKAACK OH GAWD I THOUGHT I KNEW WHAT PAIN WAS BUT THIS IS SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Tell my son I'm sorry I never --

-- Tasting notes? I just can't see why it matters - why any of it mattered. But I supposed there were luxurious fruit components in the Alicante Bouschet. OH I WISH IT WOULD END! nnnnghi nnnnghi nnnghi. And I guess you could say the Tempranillo had a great balance of earthy minerality and baked berry pie. WHERE IS THAT PAIN COMING FROM IS THAT PART OF MY BODY?? And it's fair to say the Primitivo paired well with my eggplant PARRRRM OH THE MIST IS CLOSING IN. Also the Carignane had a lovely lively acidity. UUUUGH I'VE BEEN LIVING A LIE FOR SO LONG.

Would I recommend the wines to a friend? Sure I would. I'd tell a friend - ohhhhhh noooooooooo aaaaaaaaaghhhhh - I'd tell a friend to live for the moment. Drink wine. Be happy. Don't get caught up in a war you can't win with a people you should never have fought. Find a nice place to till the soil and take care of yourself. Life ain't for fighting, it's for…

Features

2012 Alicante Bouschet, Dempel Vineyard, Mendocino County 750ml

Frane's second time out with this varietal exudes aromas of chocolates, currants, saddle and bay leaves, and produces luxuriously rich fruit components of raspberries and cranberries tinged with vanilla, all-spice and a textured earthiness with a soft, plush, long finish. Pair with barbecued beef ribs, grilled hanger steak, Moroccan couscous, lamb, venison or any gamey, savory dishes or stews.


2012 Tempranillo, Ripken Vineyard, Lodi 750ml

The aromas and flavors of this Tempranillo combine elements of baked berry pie, herbaceousness, and an earthy-leathery minerality, giving the wine an untamed sort of burliness that is tempered with more oak and bottle aging. Pair with paella, fish tacos or any spicy Spanish cuisine.


2012 Primitivo, Lovell Valley Road, Sonoma Valley 750ml

This Primitivo asserts itself with deep color and concentrated flavors of zesty cherry, wild berries and nice accents of cloves and coffee. Primitivo is known as a food pairing wonder; its acidity brightens the flavors of lively tomato-based sauces. Try it with authentic thin crusted pizza, eggplant parmesan, Polish sausages, or even cioppino.


2013 Carignane, Bartolomey  Vineyard, Mendocino 750ml

Aromas of cranberry candy invite the palate on an excursion layered in brambles and vanilla beans. The lively acidity ensures the trip is long and transcendent.

Vendor Details

Suncé Winery & Vineyard

Owner:
Janae & Frane Franicevic
Founded:
1991
Location:
Santa Rosa, CA

Suncé is Croatian for Sun, the source of all things wonderful.

Suncé, established in 1991,  is located just off of River Road on Olivet Road in the heart of the Russian River Valley. A small ultra-premuim winery producing small lots of rare varietals, vineyard designates and classic blends. Quality is preferred over quantity; each release is limited, sometimes to 200 cases or less and many are pre-sold through barrel futures.

Suncé Winery, meaning "sun" in Serbo-Croatian, is located on one of the oldest roads in Sonoma County. Where olive trees once dominated the landscape, century old head pruned vines now quietly assert their beauty. Nestled in this serene environment, Sunce Winery provides a tranquil, romantic, yet down-to-earth atmosphere.  Enjoy a picnic on the deck and play a game or two of bocce ball.  Stroll the estate Pinot Noir Vineyard and if you see Frane (the wine maker) hanging around ask him to take you to his barrels.
