Sandlands
Contra Costa County Red Table Wine 2022
This really does live into the moniker “Red Table Wine.” 100 year old vines. Pure sand vineyards. 75% Carignane 35% Mataro. No one varietal stands out. It’s just gutsy and deep and balanced and good. Little bit of everything: ripe fruit, earth, spice, acids, tannin. — 3 months ago
@Tom Casagrande, OK, your math is “good enough for government work”!! 🤔🤷🍷
@Doug Powers - Makes sense since that’s my employer.
@Tom Casagrande, same for me (formerly), but since I was a tax lawyer, no way they woulda cut me that slack!! 🤷

Three Wine Company
Contra Costa County Old Vines Zinfandel 2019
Actually @Dave Clinton, it was more like 97-98, but “it’s a dry heat” — yeah, when I was 30-40 years old, probably true, but as I get older, much over 90 and I wanna curl up in the wine cellar!!
I hear that.
The humidity the last two weeks here in NoVa has been oppressive. I love me some old vine CC Zin.

14 year old #mataro aged at a famous steakhouse. Substantial acidity up front, blackberry pie, warming spices and just an undertone of fig fruit from the time in bottle. Tannins must have been fierce upon release but now they are firm and well-integrated. Delicious. — 22 days ago
