Sandlands
Sonoma County Trousseau
Sonoma County, California, USA
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2022 pours a pale, slightly hazy ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe red fruit: raspberry, strawberry, maraschino cherry, watermelon, rose water and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. This is impossibly easy to gulp down. Fresh, juicy and silky smooth. Drink now through 2032.

Really enjoyed this. Don’t have a ton of experience with Trousseau, from the jura or elsewhere, but this is nice. The perfect pre dinner red with a slight chill - lighter, but still vervey and fun.
