Sandlands Contra Costa Red Blend 2022

95 points -Vinous

"The 2022 Red Table Wine (Contra Costa County) is a Carignane/Mataro blend from Oakley Road. Rich, dense and explosive, the 2022 is another fabulous wine in this range. Polished tannins wrap around a core black fruit, game, licorice, incense, dried flowers and gravel. Exotic floral overtones emerge with time in the glass. The 2022 is incredibly distinctive and delicious." -AG 01/2024
