Pleasantly surprised with this, as Stoplman wines have been on my shit-list for a New York minute. Unflattering pepper and vegetal nose, transitions into a very presentable olive and leather-laced experience. Nice dark fruit profile cherries and blueberries. Finished sweet and sensual - Fulton St, NYC. — 15 days ago

Tastes like a cigar box smells.....in a cedar closet. Super bitter barky aftertaste, and dirty swig-from-the-bottle fun after two days open. Something amazing from Lompoc. — a day ago

Bought from the RH list in Yountville. Bright and vibrant. Sweet fruit forward nose. Very floral. Notes of raspberries and a little soil. A nice option next to the Cote-Rotie for a little comparison. — 13 days ago

The stunning, profound and downright decadent ‘Trouver l’arene’ Syrah is an opulent blend of 80.5% Syrah, with 7% Petite Syrah, 7% Mourvèdre, 2% Grenache and 3.5% Viognier, which were sourced from their estate vineyards. The wine was aged in both neutral and new French oak for 22 months prior to bottling. On the nose this exudes class with sagebrush accents that collide with the blueberry pie, blackberry cordial and potpourri aromatics that all build steam in the glass. The texture to this wine exudes class. Ripe black cherry syrup, Turkish coffee, tar and leather with shades of sweetened licorice all impress on the palate. While a delight to savor in its youth, this stunning wine will evolve well over the next fifteen plus years. Drink 2019-2035- 99 — a month ago

Delightful. Found this squirreled away. Age really made the difference — 18 hours ago

The 2017 vintage is much better than the last two. First impression has that Aussie Shiraz notes: coffee cream, vanilla laced dark fruits. Some acidity on the palate but isn’t overwhelming. More unexpectedly complex floral notes show up after few minutes in the glass. — 3 days ago

This guy kills me. Fresh approachable Syrah with blue fruit and remarkable depth. — 4 days ago
