Sandlands

Amador County Chenin Blanc 2022

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two hours. The 2022 pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart orchard fruit: passion fruit, lemon, sea spray, white flowers, lanolin and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ with a wooly texture and lovely minerals. Drinking now through 2037. — 3 months ago

Tête-à-Tête Sierra Foothills Red Rhone Blend 2015

Very nice, a little age has helped bring out some complexity. But the 14.5% weighs it down a bit — a month ago
