Sandlands Mataro Contra Costa County
Regular price $44.99Sandlands 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.
The 2023 Mataro Contra Costa County is produced from 120 year-old Mourvedre grown in the sandy soils of the Oakley Road Vineyard. These gnarly old vines are low-yielding, and the grapes that come off of these vines are packed with character and flavor.
Antonio Gallonio of Vinous Media rated this one 96 points. "The 2023 Mataro (Contra Costa County), from Oakley Road, is magnificent. It offers a beguiling mix of inky dark fruit, new leather, incense, licorice, chocolate and plum, with a whole range of floral and savory overtones that add character. A vivid, statuesque Mataro, the 2023 dazzles from start to finish. What a wine! Drink 2025 - 2043."
