Tasting note
Sandlands Zinfandel should suggest ripe blackberry, raspberry and pepper, with a warm spice note in the aroma. The 2024 PQZ is expected to have a generous, supple palate, supported by smooth tannins and enough acidity to keep the fruit lively rather than heavy. Its listed peak spans 2027 through 2030 within a window to 2033; expect dark berry to linger with a softly savory finish and a trace of spice.
