Sandlands Rose Kirschenbloom 2025

"The 2025 Lodi Rosé Kirschenbloom is slightly lighter in both hue and build, as well as a good bit more lifted than last year's edition. A blend of 67% Zinfandel and 33% Cinsault from Tegan Passalacqua's Kirschenmann estate, the 2025 is a jubilant, citrus-inflected wine that dances across the palate with a real sense of joie de vivre. Blood orange peel, sweet red cherry, vanilla, chalk and salty inflections race through from start to finish. Mid-weight and balanced, this is a joyful, crushable Rosé. Though maybe not quite as complex or powerful as the 2024, the 2025 is long on personality." 92 points Billy Norris Vinous Media June 2026
