Sans Liege Take The Pebble Mourvedre Central Coast 2021 750ml

A philosophical approach to winemaking meets exceptional terroir in this compelling Mourvèdre from Sans Liege. The 2021 vintage showcases the wild, untamed character that makes Central Coast Mourvèdre so captivating—think crushed violets mingling with blackberry bramble and warm Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, this wine reveals layers of dark plum, graphite minerality, and subtle game notes that evolve with each sip. What sets this bottling apart is its remarkable balance between power and finesse. While many Mourvèdres lean heavily into rusticity, Sans Liege has crafted something more nuanced—maintaining the variety's signature earthiness while adding a refined structure that speaks to thoughtful vineyard selection. The tannins are present but beautifully integrated, creating a framework that supports rather than dominates. The name 'Take The Pebble' hints at the wine's mineral-driven complexity, a characteristic derived from the diverse soils of the Central Coast. This interplay between fruit and earth creates an almost meditative drinking experience, where each glass reveals new dimensions. Pair it with herb-crusted lamb, wild mushroom risotto, or aged hard cheeses to fully appreciate its savory depths. This is a wine that rewards patience, both in the glass and in the cellar, promising beautiful evolution over the next decade.
