Sans Liege 2008 The Offering Red (Santa Barbara County)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $25

This is a Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre blend, with a trace of Viognier. It’s a big, rich, voluptuous wine, dynamic in berries and vanilla cream from oak, and the acidity must come from that 2% of Viognier. So fruity, it’s almost sweet, except that it finishes with a dry flourish. Only 960 cases were produced. — S.H. (3/1/2011)

Sans Liege 2008 Pickpocket Grenache (Paso Robles)

Online Exclusive

Price $36

Made in that very ripe, high-alcohol Paso style, with dense, concentrated fruit and a lot of upfront flash and flamboyance. Reminiscent of Saxum’s wines, it’s rich, unctuous and almost a food group of its own, with jammy flavors of cherries and raspberries and their associated liqueurs. — S.H. (3/1/2011)
