13' Sandlands Carignane Mendocino Co. Color- Persian red/ Light purple core. Nose- If you were to sell a wine just based upon the smell of it.

I dig pretty much everything that Tegan does with Sandlands, but my favorites have to be the Carignanes. Really enjoyable and just entering its drinking window.
