The most lush of the lineup of Sandhi wines. This one attacks the palate with sweet black cherry/strawberry concentrate. Deft balance. @June's All Day, Austin TX

Structured and vivacious. Dark fruit and brine/kelp is chewy in the mid pallet.

Bright, fresh berry fruit and purple flowers. Weightless and gulpable!

Wowee! Fab with maitake mushroom soba. Needs to breathe a bit as the finish is a little Bretty upon open but it blows off.

This is a wine I have been interested in trying for quite some time. Soft, supple, juicy red fruit flavors float across your tongue while floral and earthy aromas watt from the glass. A real treat.

Gordons Sandhi tasting with Parr 9/27/17. Mt Carmal 14 also elegant and silky like the other 14 more supple in texture. More black fruit and floral.

Has the fruit you'd expect for an American Pinot. But it's also Burgundian in the nose as well as some more brambly elements.
