OK the grapes for this wine come from Santa Barbara but we couldn’t help our selves when we had the chance to work with this vineyard. The famous Stolpman vineyard is regarded by many as the ideal location for growing exceptional Syrah because of its fast-draining soils and cool microclimate. The vineyard is managed by a near fanatical and meticulous viticulture team that is focused on sustainable farming. A saturated medium-ruby colored wine exhibiting quintessential Syrah aromas of blackberry, black raspberry, violets, new leather, mocha and pepper. It is concentrated, densely packed and smooth, with deep black fruit nicely framed by balanced acidity and tannins followed by a long finish.
