Antonio Galloni (Vinous):
The 2021 Chenin Blanc (Amador County) has a bit more body and weight than the Lodi Chenin. Orchard fruit, pear, spice, mint and dried flowers all meld together. Pliant and resonant, with bright acids, the Amador Chenin is super. Sadly, production is all of three barrels.

Sandlands is the personal project of Tegan Passalacqua. The line-up encompasses the forgotten classic California varieties, primarily grown in decomposed granite (sand), from regions and vineyards that have been farmed for many generations but have remained the outliers of California viticulture.
Primarily head-trained, dry-farmed and own rooted, the vineyards we work with harken back to California’s roots of exploration, wonder, and hard work.
