Textural richness and depth are the hallmarks of the 2010 Call to Arms, another delicious white Rhone blend. Nothing in particular stands out, as all the elements are nicely balanced in a rich fabric of notable class. The blend is 70% Grenache Blanc and 30% Roussanne, fermented in barrel and aged mostly in barrel, with some stainless steel. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.
This is an exciting set of new releases from Sans Liege and proprietor Curt Schalchlin.
