2017 Sandlands Mataro

The 2017 Mataro (Contra Costa County) is another stellar wine in this range. Dark, ample and relatively full-bodied, the 2017 is so full of character. Black olive, lavender, sage, menthol and blackberry are all super-expressive. Here, too the wine’s balance is simply impeccable. Savory notes add to an impression of gravitas. This fruit is sourced from Del Barba, which was first planted in 1922.
