2022 Sandlands, Red Table Wine Lodi

33% Cinsault from Bechtold Vineyard (Planted in 1886), 33% Carignane from Spenker Ranch (Planted in 1900), 33% Zinfandel from Kirschenmann Vineyard (Planted in 1915)

The 2022 Red Table Wine (Lodi) is a blend of equal parts Spanker Carignane, Bechtold Cinsault, and Kirschenmann Zinfandel. That combination of sites works so well. Aromatic, pliant and wonderfully persistent, the 2022 is superb. It's really an Ode to Lodi. Deep and structured, with tons of character, the 2022 is exceptional in every way and at this price? Absurd."
