Sandlands, Carignane, Contra Costa, California, United States, 2023
Through Sandlands Vineyards, Tegan Passalacqua highlights the rugged beauty of California's historic, own-rooted vineyards. This Carignane is sourced from ancient, dry-farmed vines in Contra Costa County, growing deep in decomposed granite and wind-blown sand that naturally limit yields and concentrate flavor.
Vinified with a hands-off approach to preserve the site's unique character, the wine is explosive and deeply colored. It reveals a potent bouquet of dark fruit, leather, and subtle floral overtones, supported by a dense, structured palate and remarkable aging potential.
Varietal: Carignane
Appellation: Contra Costa County, California, United States
Farming: Own-Rooted, Dry-Farmed
Style: Red. Dry, potent and dark-fruited
