Pale lemon color with aromas of white fruits and wet stone aromas. On the palate flavors of apple and peach, lively acidity. Long finish ending crisp with mineral and sweet honey character, should age well, but great now! Small production!

Stolpman is one of the jewels of Santa Barbara. I don’t think I’ve had a bad wine from them. This is fresh and saline on the nose with some minerality. I can’t remember if this sees a barrel, but I maybe detect a hint of vanilla? It has some weight on the palate, but enough acidity to keep it in balance. Definitely some stone fruit. Overall a lighter, fresher interpretation of the varietal. Paired well with homemade chicken paillard.
