Sandlands 2022 Contra Costa Carignane

This Carignane comes from the Spenker Ranch Vineyard in Lodi, planted in 1900 by Joseph Spenker and currently spanning only about 8 acres. The soils are sandy loam situated on the west side of the Mokelumne River, and the vines are known to produce some of the punchiest and most energetic Carignane in California. More red-fruited, with tart black cherry and strawberry along with racy acidity and firm tannins that make it very food friendly.
