Sandlands
Lodi Assyrtiko
Lodi, Central Valley, California, USA
2023 drunk in 2025. Rich and flavorful, but a bit flabby. Much more like Sandlands Chenin Blanc than a Greek Assyrtiko. Not my favorite.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Better on Day 2. The 2023 pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe tropical fruit: pineapple, passionfruit, starfruit, lime, wax and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. An awesome pairing with cedar plank salmon. One foudre, one puncheon and one barrel produced. Drink now through 2038.
