Sandlands
California Carignane
Bright, lifted fruit, but needs air badly to show its best. Better on day two, where is has some carbonic strawberry like fruit.
While I like the freshness, I wish it tasted ripe.

This really blossomed with 30 minutes of air.

Oct 4th, 2018Light garnet red. Lots of herbs and smoky notes on the nose. A little stinky too with black pepper, funk, dark crushed gravel, red berries and even a touch of roses. Low tannins (4/10) with moderate plus acidity. Layers of raspberries, strawberries, twigs, meaty, floral and a touch dusty. Light bodied with a very dry and long finish. Needed a 30+ minute decant. Drink till 2024.
