Sandy Lane Vineyard, located in Contra Costa County, is a rare and remarkable site—own-rooted, head-trained, dry-farmed vines planted in 1888 grow in deep Delhi sandy loam just feet from the Sacramento River Delta. These soils are inhospitable to phylloxera, which is why the original vines are still alive and producing fruit today—an increasingly rare phenomenon in California or anywhere else in the world.
Mourvèdre from this vineyard has gained a reputation for its depth, structure, and signature savory edge. While the grape is often blended, single-varietal bottlings from Sandy Lane have shown distinctive notes of boysenberry, black fruit, sage, lavender, forest floor, and dried herbs, with a naturally firm tannic backbone and persistent finish. The fruit carries the unmistakable imprint of its place: old vines, wind-swept sand, and a slow, deliberate growing season shaped by the Delta breeze.
This vineyard shares a fence line with Evangelho, now farmed by Bedrock Wine Co., and has been used by Ridge Vineyards and other top producers. These are true California heritage vines—enduring, expressive, and deeply rooted in the history of West Coast winemaking.
Quantities are extremely limited.
