Sweet red fruit on the nose and palate with some very attractive aged aromas. Unfortunately there is little to no structure making the wine quite boring and will lead to a short life. #sansliege #grenache #california #santabarbara

Blushing beauty Grenache. Always a pleasure. Can't wait for the 13 round soon.

Not sure I agree w these comments. I don’t find it overly tannic at all. Very balanced, even though it has a rich finish. Grenache remains such an interesting varietal- this one is very elegant and reminiscent of an old world wine.

Like this Grenache a lot. Enjoyed with cheese and sausage tray on Friday night. Happy hour at home.

my favorite Grenache. and one of my favorites from Sans Liege. Dark fruit and complex flavors. Good tannins but not overly dry.

Sans liege. 2010. Bright with the essential fruit leather character to back it up. The 16% abv is surprisingly well hidden. As with most cali these days I mostly taste weather but nonetheless Not over extracted and not over ripe...I think...if so coulda fooled me, and I'm pretty happy about it.

A little Saturday night wine... Funky, earthy notes with a little too much alcohol. Steph didn't care for it.
