Winemaker Notes
The trail to the coast took you past stretches of wild flowering lemon verbena and strewn bits of oyster shell. Now stepping onto the sand you are greeted by a cool ocean air which carries with it notes of coconut flesh, vanilla bean and yellow peach. You gaze at the water and breathe it all in, admiring the golden sun’s reflection in the waves.

Always a good value, the 2020 Cotes du Coast is based on 47% Viognier, 33% Marsanne, 11% Roussanne, and the rest Grenache Blanc and Clairette. Rocking honeyed citrus and tangerine fruits as well as flower and brioche all emerge from the glass, and it's medium-bodied, with terrific purity and a round, undeniably delicious style geared for drinking over the coming year or two.

Growing up in East Los Angeles, Curt was not a wine country kid raised among the vines. He got a glimpse of the wine world when coming to the central coast at the age of 20. He became enamored with winemaking and jumped right in.
His wine label Sans Liege (sahn leej) or "without allegiance" aptly describes his tenacity to pursue winemaking on the central coast unhindered by the trappings of any particular style. He is excited to have the opportunity to be a part of a winemaking region which is still shaping its history. For Sans Liege he focuses on Rhone varietals (especially Grenache) and favors character over notoriety when choosing vineyards for in diversity lies the promise of uncommon opportunity. He also crafts his foundational wines, Groundwork Wine Co. which are pure varietal expressions at an everyday price point.
