2022 Sandlands Carignane Contra Costa County

Sternowl's note. The '22 CCCC was great, and as good as or better than any other Carignaane I've had from Sandlands or beyond. I left a half bottle at cellar temp corked until day-3, where I found it a touch oxidized but still lovely. Just drink at will now for a great experience, guaranteed.

2021 Drew Family Cellars Syrah Valenti Ranch

Bottle shock be balderdash. I picked this wine up at the source earlier today, and the bottle couldn't wait. Aromatically imposing would be an understatement; the wine exudes a complex and multitudinous array of scents, spices, and musky, woodsy, peppery aromas. Delicate, deep, encaptivating. The more austere palate shows promise, as much as it has balance and a shock of medium grained-tannins running through its back half. There's a special expression of place in this Syrah, and I feel the site has reached some kind of maturity and epic stature at this point. These will indeed continue to show greatness for a long time to come. Of so much, I'm certain.

What Mike wrote. This wine turned my Chug Keta salmon meal into something some magnitude finer. Very well made and compelling SB from DL.
