Sandlands Vineyards, founded by Tegan Passalacqua, focuses on producing wines from California's lesser-known, heritage grape varieties. The 2021 Zinfandel from Lodi exemplifies this commitment, showcasing fruit from the historic Kirschenmann Vineyard.
- WINEMAKER: Tegan Passalacqua
- FARMING: Practicing sustainable viticulture
- VARIETY: 100% Zinfandel
- VINEYARD: Kirschenmann Vineyard, located on the east side of Lodi's Mokelumne River AVA, was planted in 1915. The vines are head-trained, dry-farmed, and own-rooted, thriving in silica-rich, white sandy soils.
- VINIFICATION: Traditional winemaking techniques are employed, with fermentation in neutral vessels to preserve the varietal's character.
- AGING: The wine is aged in neutral French oak barrels to enhance complexity without imparting excessive oak flavors.
- TASTING NOTES:Aromas of black tea, violets, and red cherry. On the palate, it presents a rich and voluptuous profile with long, silky tannins.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: This versatile Zinfandel pairs well with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.

SCORES: Vinous: 93 Points
"The 2022 Zinfandel Kirschenmann is a bit richer than most years, but that's not a bad thing. Pliant and generous, the 2022 is super-expressive. Succulent red cherry, cedar, pipe tobacco, incense and licorice build effortlessly in the glass. There's terrific textural resonance and creaminess to support years of fine drinking."
