2024 Sandlands Lodi Carignane

The 2024 Carignane (Lodi) is sourced from Spanker Ranch, planted in 1900. A blast of dark red cherry fruit, blood orange, pomegranate, cinnamon, new leather and cedar makes a strong first impression. This is an especially potent, dense Carignane. It builds beautifully with a bit of time in the glass as the mid-palate starts to flesh out. Hints of slate, white pepper, mint and dried herbs linger.
