Popped and poured. The 2019 Amador County is energy in a bottle. Deep straw bordering light golden color. Medium viscosity. Medium+ intensity. Generous fruit with bright notes of yellow apple, quince, passion fruit, white flowers, ginger, and persimmon. On the palate, the wine is dry with ripping acid. Confirmed the tart yellow apples which are joined by San Pellegrino-like minerals and lanolin. A wine of lovely texture. The finish is long and immensely satisfying. This is my favorite Sandlands Chenin to-date; checking off so many boxes.

Vibrating electric citrus pumping goodness..Key Lime, Meyer Lemon, yuzu zest with amazing lightness on the palate. One bottle is never enough for two. And with Tegan’s friendly pricing you can afford that second or even third bottle.
