  Quite closed on open. Decanted for an hour and it really opened up. What was once quite vegetal becomes cantaloupe, kiwi, mango. Some pepper on the back end. A very honest wine. Though missing some mid palate and not really all that fond of the finish. A great table wine.

  A blend in three equal parts of Cinsault from the Bechthold Vineyard (1886), Carignane from Spenker Ranch (1900) and Zinfandel from Kirschenmann Vineyard (1915).
  
  Popped and poured; consumed over three days. Consistent throughout but probably showed best on day three. The 2022 Lodi pours, a deep ruby color with a transparent core and a slightly watery rim. Medium viscosity, with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine youthful and expressive with notes of black bramble fruit, blueberries, soft red flowers, red rope licorice, and rocky minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry; medium tannins and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is lengthy and full of minerals and wow, it is juicy. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Tegan is redefining Lodi. These wines show so much character and yet have all the Lodi DNA. Drink now and through 2032. 40 barrels produced.

  Notes of cherries with a pleasant floral bouquet. This a well balanced, medium bodied wine.

  Rose petals and raspberry. Light on the palate and on its feet. I'd expect this wine to fill out a bit with a little age, but it is very good now.
