Sans Liege Wines, Santa Barbara County (Central Coast) 2011

Sep 3, 2014

By Rich Cook

This is a bright, peppery GSM with a beautiful nose of cherry, spice and wild flowers. It’s very lively on the palate, with a well-balanced charred oak note that serves to brighten the fruit without intruding. It’s pretty tight at present, but some bottle aging will bring it around beautifully. If you can’t wait, decant a couple of hours before serving and enjoy with autumn stews. Contains 48% Grenache, 29% Syrah, 21% Mourvedre and 2% Viognier.
