Dense and brooding, with black fruit and graphite threading through layers of earth and stone. The decomposed granite soils of Lime Kiln Valley leave their mark in mineral precision and underlying power. Firm tannins anchor the wine without masking its natural elegance.

Sandlands

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.
