This is an AMAZING winery every one of these wines is spectacular. I been drinking their wines for over 5 years and have never been disappointed. this is a awesome deal.
Hi, This is Janae, the winemaker’s wife. I’m here ready to answer any questions. If I don’t know the answer, I’ll defer to Frane, who’s sitting across from me in the living room watching “Secrets of the Sun” on Netflix. Oh, and I sent over a voice memo for the Woot Staff to post----it’s titled: Frane Speaks.
Scoring on CT is high 80s and a 90 here and there (single reviews though). Some discussion of the Zin having peaked in 08, and scoring possibly reflects that.
Wish there was an ABV for the Merlot…
For the price, this could be a decent investment, but I’ll have to see how I feel about it tomorrow.
[edit] Priced out on CT, came to ~$280 for everything minus the Viogniere, which had no average price yet. I would say for $130, this is pretty much an auto-buy for me (tomorrow).
I’ve been buying Sunce wines for about 4 years. Currently have about 15 bottles in my wine cabinet. Never had one from them I didn’t like. The regular pricing on these bottles totals up to $444, so at $129 this is a steal.
Not to be a complete jerk but there are two people who are raving about the wine within the first hour that have never posted before, any relation to the winery?
I got some of the Sunce Zin from WTSO a while back, and it was quite nice. I don’t recall the vintage or the specifics, and I don’t feel like rooting around downstairs right now to find out. Will have to consider this offer–I have more wine than space for it, and $ is constrained at the moment. Hmmm.
Hey everyone… at under $12/bottle we are all getting a hell of a deal. I prefer to drink wines from small wineries like these… it makes me fell more connected to those who produce the wine. Can’t wait. All lit up in Wisconsin. Merry Christmas to me!
Hi. These are all age-worthy but are also quaffable now. I misstated the alcohol on the Zin, it’s actually 15% (as stated on the label) and not 13 point something. My favorites are the Cab, the Merlot and the Malbec—I like the Bordeaux varietals. All of reds wines are dry–nothing exceeding .04 residual sugar. The Viognier has .07
The Cab has a blackberry chalkiness to it that’s developing into a creaminess on the finish.
The Merlot has a black tea quality tinged with some mint and a cardboard earthiness—it’s the real deal. Merlot is my favorite among the wines we make.
The Malbec is very black cherryful with a typical fruitcakiness served with some barnyard wafting through the air. I like this one.
The Syrah is grown in red clay soil in Oakley , California. It’s the most blueberry wine I’ve ever tasted, with balanced tannins. Good for a Syrah
The Viognier is on the dry side and not cloying. It’s a pretty serious wine and can stand up to a very good Chardonnay.
The Zin is a more aged, refined type, and you can barely tell it has 15% alcohol.
I’m the owner/wife person and our website is getting a rebuild. But if you go to: the “All our wines” scroll bar in the right corner of the homepage you can .scroll down to each of these six wines
The Malbec is quite fruity, but it’s more of a baked black cherry fruitiness and it makes things interesting on the mid-palate but it’s the long creamy finish that reminds one that it belongs in the Bordeaux family. The Syrah is very varietal but doesn’t have any of the off-putting bad barnyard qualities that I associate with most Syrahs. This still feels like a new release to me–it has a nice newness to it. Fresh. I like it but I’m not fond of a lot of Syrahs.
