Sandlands Trousseau Glory

This thread inspired me to open one up this week - thought it was in a really good place.

Just had the 2022 for the first time. Just a wonderful wine. I’ve never held on to these to see if they age and for good reason. These drink absolutely lovely out of the gate and I don’t need much more, especially for the price.

Kogod Wine would be happy to sell one of us another bottle for just $143

They have never used any Gamay to my knowledge. In 2021 specifically they had a really bad frost in one of their Trousseau vineyards which would have led to a really thin wine so they added a bit of Pinot Noir in 2021. Otherwise the wine has been 100% Trousseau from Luchsinger Vineyard and Las Cimas Vineyard. It’s still one of the lightest most ethereal red wines produced domestically. It almost looks like a skin contact white in the glass. I would consider taking another crack at it - you might be surprised :slightly_smiling_face:
