Dark fruit and spice flow with impressive concentration from this Mt. Veeder site. Blood orange and dried herbs add complexity to the rich, structured palate. The tannins show mountain intensity but remain polished, supporting rather than dominating. Cedar and mineral notes extend the finish beautifully.

Tegan Passalacqua's Sandlands focuses on old-vine California varieties, particularly from Lodi and Contra Costa County, making low-intervention wines from Carignan, Mataro, Trousseau, and Syrah that reward serious attention.
