Tegan Passalacqua is a celebrated winemaker with a devoted following: he leads winemaking at acclaimed Turley Wine Cellars, but it's his own Sandlands project that turns heads. These wines get snapped up fast. This Lodi Red Table Wine blends three ancient vineyards, planted between 1886 and 1915.
Tasting Notes
"Dark, ample and full of energy, with an exotic mix of dark plum, cedar, spice, new leather, licorice and rose petal. Deep and expressive; it can be opened now, but it will reward a few years in the cellar." — Harvest Wine Shop
