Sandlands Sonoma Coast Trousseau

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. 

His Sonoma Coast Trousseau is a brilliant wine. Ethereal, beguiling, mineralic, delicate, and lightweight. Dried cherry and raspberry candy interlace with crushed flowers, rose water, saline, savory herbs, and white pepper. A very well integrated wine, every note you detect leads on to the other in this kaleidoscopic wine from Tegan.
