A serious, well-done GSM blend, the 2006 The Offering (41% Grenache, 26% Syrah, 21% Mourvedre, and 2% Viognier) has turned out to be a lovely wine. This is what more Central Coast producers need to be looking at. Its seductive, floral notes intermixed with sweet kirsch liqueur and black currants in a medium-bodied, ripe, but richly fruity, luscious style are going to be a big hit among consumers of all levels of expertise. This wine should drink nicely for 2-4 years.
