Slightly chilled from the cooler. Wonderful nose and lifted compared to other versions of Contra Costa reds. Deftly blended to be smooth and fruity but also has complexity that can’t be overlooked. Red fruit up front but herbs to finish. — 3 years ago

Still evolving after 45 min. Getting richer, soft tannins, this 2010 still has some years left to develop. — 9 years ago

My second of two bottles allocated to me. The first was flawed with TCA; a huge bummer. This bottle, however was perfect. The 2019 “Lodi” pours a very pretty ruby color with translucent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. ON the nose, medium intensity with red fruit and floral aromas with some underbrush and dusty earth aromas. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium acid and medium- tannins. The bright red fruits are confirmed with forest strawberry and raspberries and wet stone minerals. There is an overwhelming impression of freshness that so many of the Sandlands wines possess. Charming stuff really. Drink now and over the next 5 years or so. — 2 years ago
Spicy and flavorful. Loved this wine esp for the cost. We found Tres Sabores a couple years ago and love their wines so we tried this as its the winemaker’s sons wine. Totally surpassed my expectations! Would love to have again. — 3 years ago
