Sandlands Lodi Red Table Wine

Sandlands is the personal project of Tegan Passalacqua. The line-up encompasses the forgotten classic California varieties, primarily grown in decomposed granite (sand), from regions and vineyards that have been farmed for many generations but have remained the outliers of California viticulture. Primarily head-trained, dry-farmed and own rooted, the vineyards we work with harken back to California’s roots of exploration, wonder, and hard work. 

Just 25 barrels of this blend of 1/3 each Cinsault, Carignane, and Zinfandel were produced in the warm and sunny 2021 vintage. "The 2021 Red Table Wine (Lodi) is rich, dark and expressive, but in the style that runs through all the wines. Succulent dark cherry, dried herbs, menthol and rose petal all build beautifully in the glass. There's terrific depth and textural intensity, not to mention tons of character. The red-toned fruit of Carignane is really popping today. Zinfandel, Carignane and Cinsault in equal parts make for a compelling red." - Vinous Media - 94 points
