Community Tasting Note

rc@ughey Likes this wine:

Monday, November 24, 2014 - My first red from Sandlands, and this is highly compelling. Much more so than the Chenin. This is seriously structured and obviously young, but the fruit is ripe and the tannins fine-grained enough that this can be enjoyed now. This is on the juicier side of the spectrum -- not a lot of Northern Rhone style complexity -- but the fruit is pure and is an attractive mix of deep dark fruits, brighter notes, and minerals. This got better with air and the balance is nice. A winner that will improve. If you drink now, decant and give it air.
