SANS LIEGE 10 COTES DU COAST
Owner/winemaker Curt Schalchlin is the owner and only employee of Sans Liege Wines. After several years learning from and working for some of the Central Coast's most sought-after producers, Curt decided to go his own way. He has rapidly made a name for himself within the "Cal-Rhone Community" as one of the hot new producers of Syrahs, Grenaches, Viognier, and blends. His "Groundwork" lineup represents one heck of a value, and the Sans Liege wines really showcase his abilities.An exceptionally fragrant and beautiful wine comprised of 43% Viognier, 23% Roussanne, and 12% Grenache Blanc, only a portion of the wine went through malolactic fermentation. The 2010 Cotes du Coast is beautifully balanced and shows plenty of verve. The nose brings to mind memories of the best summer weddings; scents of cherry blossom, muddled mint, marzipan, green mango and creme d’ peche lead to a fresh, yet well structured palate of clementine, cream soda, lime, amaretto and flint. Quite easily the finest Cotes du Coast yet.
