V2015 drunk in 2020. Delicious, but not affecting me deeply. Love Sandlands wines.

Nov 2nd, 2020WNH event number 4. Perfect Pizza Pairing bottles. Not a bad bottle in the bunch!
This was in the running for nose of the day. So explosive out of the glass with floral/potpourri notes and candied blue fruit. Lighter on the palate than expected (in a good way) with a killer finish of violets, jasmine and tobacco. Such a fantastic expression of Mourvedre. Thanks @Carl Fischer !

This is the Enz vineyard bottling. Way too young... hands off my remaining bottles for at least a few years.

May 13th, 2017Glad I have another bottle of this wish I had a few more. What I love about this wine is how it has a start, middle and finish. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves.

Apr 21st, 2017Brutally tight out of the bottle, started to reveal a few hints after a couple hours open. Really hits a nice mid-weight for CA Mourvedre, sitting somewhere between Dirty & Rowdy and Ridge's offerings. I think this is going to be a stunner in a couple years.
