Stolpman Vineyards
Estate Grown Ballard Canyon Syrah



Showing very well right now. First day still bright and fresh dark red fruits. Next couple of days molded into a little more savory and earthy. Very solid bottle. Drink now or hold another couple years.

Seamless. Roast plum, confit raspberries, country ham, game juices. Dense, yet well-structured and long on the palate. Dry farming really beginning to show its value here.

Just amazing for such a young #syrah . Dark red and black fruit, some spice, a bit earthy. Wonderful mouth feel, delicate but very much alive. Stays for days.

Birthday dinner wine. Second time I've had it and what a difference some time and air makes. Cranberry and raspberry on the palate. Herbaceous and a little bitter mid palate with a very silky finish. Can see where others got the charred meat flavor. Great value! Can't wait to try in a few years.

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.
