Sandlands Carignan 2023

Sandlands Carignan 2023

Born from gnarly, own-rooted vines at the historic Spenker Ranch, this Carignan carries California history in every sip. Winemaker Tegan Passalacqua lets the old vines do the talking—delivering a potent mix of black fruit, earth, and wild florals lifted by whole cluster fermentation. Bright acidity keeps things lively, while firm, old-school tannins remind you this isn’t a polite handshake of a wine—it’s a grip-and-grin straight from Contra Costa’s past. Food-friendly, fiercely rooted, and unapologetically Californian.
