94 pts WS - new release Fantastic new discovery! The latest offering from Sans Liege's Curt Schalchlin, the "Offering" is a blend of 47% Grenache, 33% Syrah, 19% Mourvedre and 1% Viognier. Darkly stylish label art, darkly stylish Grenache blend in the bottle. Highly recommended. previous vintage 94 Points Wine Spectator: "Distinctive, refined and well-built, offering expressive black cherry, cigar box, green olive and cured meat accents that build richness on the long finish. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Viognier. Drink now through 2026." 90 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Moving to the reds, The Offering checks in as a blend of 45% Grenache, 33% Syrah, 21% Mourvèdre, and 1% Viognier aged 17 months in 27% new oak. Its ruby/plum color gives way to a great nose of blackberries, ground pepper, herbes de Provence, and licorice. Medium-bodied, with plenty of fruit and good balance, it’s California's answer to an outstanding Côtes du Rhône."

So I bought this blindly at a wine store in south Florida. When I realized how much I spent on it and the producer was on a recommendation list by someone in Napa, I was very excited about trying it, so I saved it for a special occasion. I opened it tonight and was actually disappointed. The alcohol level is very high (15.2%) which took away from the fruit blend (and yes I did decant). Will probably not purchase this again
