SANS LIEGE
2018 THE OFFERING
GSM BLEND
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY
Sans Liege The Offering is a fusion of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre (GSM) that was inspired by the deliciously complex wines from the Southern Rhone Valley, and crafted with the New World winemaking techniques and freedom.
Each subsequent vintage develops an even more intense following, and it’s the wines’ magnetic style, with a plush mouthfeel and abundance of complexity that makes it so unforgettable.
All of that combined with a retail price of under $30, and the quality is unmatched when it comes to juicy red blends.
With origins from top vineyards in California’s iconic Santa Barbara County, winemaker Curt Schalchlin selects each vineyard based on flavor characteristics and distinct qualities that add layers to the diversity of the overall blend.
This remarkable and highly-expressive blend spent around 16 months in barrel, and Curt made it with a technique of utilizing partial whole cluster fermentation, contributing to greater depth and structure in the wine.

Winery Notes, “The early fall breeze brushes through the orchard, bringing with it aromas of red plum, cinnamon bark, cocoa, and freshly oiled leather. The harvest table is bountiful; friends and family all gather round. Wooden bowls full of green olives and mixed berries are passed as you warm your hands on a rustic mug filled with anise black tea.”

The wine is profoundly detailed, penetrating and intense, and it’s absolutely one of the most stunning examples of Napa Valley Grenache that I’ve tasted. The 2018 vintage provided idyllic growing conditions that were perfect for ripening Grenache, with a mild summer and extended Fall sunshine.
Winery Notes, “Our Rapport 2018 Grenache opens with soaring aromatics of kirsch liqueur, black cherries, and strawberry jam. It is lush, medium-bodied and unfiltered while offering complex flavors of red fruit savoriness which should be consumed in its first decade of life.”

From Wine & Spirits Magazine, “….from the estate’s oldest syrah vines, planted 30 to 40 years ago in the stony soils of La Roche de Glun. Vinified without added yeasts and aged in used barrels for a year, it’s enticingly floral and spicy, with cool restraint to its plummy fruit-think cold plum at peak ripeness, eaten outside on a warm summer day.” 94 Points
From Vinous, “A suave, highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe dark berries, cherry preserves, incense and exotic spices, with succulent herb and olive notes in the background. Concentrated but lively as well, offering sharply defined blackberry, bitter cherry, candied violet and exotic spice flavors and a late jolt of spicy cracked pepper. Clings with strong authority on the penetrating, floral-driven finish, which is framed by slowly mounting tannins.” 93 Points
