Description

In time for Fall cuisine and the holidays!  A wine that has become a tradition on the Thanksgiving table since we sold the first vintage of 2007 back in 2009.  Curt Schalchlin’s Sans Liege (sahn leej  — “without allegiance”!) THE OFFERING has cultivated an enormous following at The Wine Consultant.   After sampling, we can attest to The Offering’s bright and compelling ripe black cherries, dark cocoa, cedar, mint and finely ground white pepper nuances.  Focused, buoyant, and mouth filling, this wine is lip smacking delicious now, but should age gracefully  for another 6-8+ years as proven by The Offering’s outstanding track record. 14.7% alcohol.  No trade/media critics’ ratings at this time.

Sourced from seven premier Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo vineyards

43% Grenache (30% whole clusters)

38% Syrah (25% stem return)

19% Mourvèdre (100% destemmed)

Aged 21 months in French oak (14% new, 20% second fill, 66% neutral)
