The 2008 The Offering bursts from the glass with a rush of blackberries, blueberries, sweet spices and licorice. It shows good inner perfume and sweetness in a super-ripe, racy style. The finish is round and harmonious. The Offering is 41% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, 27% Syrah and 2% Viognier that spent 22 months in French oak. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.
This is an interesting set of wines from Sans Liege and proprietor Curt Schalchlin. The wines are full of personality and potential but the high alcohol is noticeable in a number of these selections.
