2015 Sans Liege The Offering Proprietary Red
Made in a magnetic style that draws you in with lavish aromas that become increasingly compelling with aeration, Sans Liege’s Southern Rhone inspired blend The Offering is wine that I simply love.  A remarkable fusion of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre, the 2015 saturates your taste buds with a velvety texture, intermixed with vibrant red fruits, crème de cassis, juicy blackberries, and savory spices that you coming back for more… The perfect accompaniment for pizza, BBQ, or simply any day that ends in “y,” you’ll want to secure a case or two of this before the reviews surface.   
Bursting onto the scene from top vineyards located in California’s iconic Santa Barbara County… this expressive blend spends an optimal 22 months in barrel and blossoms for more than a year in bottle before release.  Always a terrific value, an earlier vintage of The Offering commanded national attention when it ranked #34 in the world on the 2011 Wine Spectator Top 100, and if you’re searching for a unique and delicious blend to share with your friends and family this year…  Seriously, you will be thanking me later.

Winery Notes:The study is dense with the scents of kirsch, oolong tea and cinnamon bark. Beside you sits a plate of fennel and anise spiced sausage along with the crumbs of your biscuit that was smeared with strawberry preserves. Zealously pouring over the parchment on the old oak desk, you can not relinquish the task. The code must be cracked tonight. Your graphite pencil scratches onward in the candlelight as the prospect of insight nears.”

Tasting Notes: “Intoxicating aromas of crushed blue fruits, blackberry cobbler, violets, raspberry compote and a touch of vanilla, erupt from the glass. Ripe, round tannins and a core of perfectly woven flavors of dark cherry, blueberry pie, crushed blackberries and a hint pepper spice unwind in a continuous loop.  Soft, voluptuous tannins caress your taste buds with a long, luxurious finish that just wont quit.”

PROPRIETARY RED
 
Vandella marries old and new in a way that makes this wine truly unique and something that I want to show you more of in 2018. Old are the 130 year old, dry farmed Mourvedre Vines and new is the young and passionate winemaker who by happenstance we discovered last year.  Defined by a surreal presence on the palate, the winemaker creates a single, unique wine each vintage, allowing the land to determine the direction of the blend.  Literally harvesting every grape himself, this fusion of Rhone and Portuguese varietals saturates your palate with vivid and intense dark fruits, autumn spices, crushed violets, dark chocolate, licorice and plum.
 
When Aaron was tilling the vineyard, he unearthed a cast iron harvest ghost from the 1800’s which is pictured on the front label. Mourvedre leads the way this vintage at 65% of the final blend and was sourced from the Enz Vineyard, located adjacent from the Mt. Harlan AVA, made famous by Calera.  The vines were planted in the 1880’s and produce fruit of otherworldly depth and character.  The 2015 was kept 18 months in barrel and is stunningly good right now.  This is an absolutely killer bottle of wine at it’s $48 retail price. 100 cases made…

Winery Notes: “Old vine Mourvedre from the legendary “Enz Vineyard” planted in 1887. This dry-farmed heritage vineyard still exists on it’s original rootstock, and produces naturally low yields and exceptional fruit concentration. The resulting wine is remarkably focused, with perfect tannic structure, balanced acid, and aromas of raspberry sorbet, violets, caramelized sugar, and Lavender.”
