Tegan Passalacqua is a winemaking sensation with a devoted following: he's the winemaker behind world-renowned Turley Wine Cellars, but it's his own project, Sandlands, that has the wine world talking. Demand far outstrips supply, and collectors chase every bottle. This Red Table Wine is old-vine Carignane and Mataro from a vineyard planted in 1920.

Tasting Notes

"Rich, dense and explosive, with polished tannins wrapped around black fruit, game, licorice, incense, dried flowers and gravel. Exotic floral notes keep building with air. Distinctive and delicious." — Harvest Wine Shop
