Sandlands Vineyards
Lodi Cinsault
Lodi, Central Valley, California, USA
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Best on Day 2. The 2024 Lodi pours a ruby/purple color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is youthful with notes of ripe Bing cherry, raspberries, Marionberries, purple flowers, and wet rocks. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The fruit is less jammy and the tannins seem more fierce on Day 2. Sooooo primary. A wine that demands some air at this stage but there’s a lot of fun in its youth. Drink now with patience but better after 2027 and through 2039.
