Stolpman Vineyards
Estate Grown Santa Ynez Valley Syrah
Santa Ynez Valley, Central Coast, California, USA
Nose has ripe plum, milk chocolate powder, ripe blackberry, ripe black cherry, green pepper in muddy garden soil, decaying roses and over-ripe red cherries.
Palate has milk chocolate covered cherry, wet leather, warmed black licorice, charred wood, ripe plum, grippy tannins and a very long finish. Started out a little hot (14.5% ABV) after a 4 hour decant, but settled in nicely afterwards.
Last bottle of the 2009 vintage from a 6-pack purchased in Nov 2012. Anyone continuing to hold this in proper storage, may do do until 2025-30.

Ripe plum skin, over ripe cherry on the palate. Nose is overly hot right now, so difficult to really pin down it's attributes.
