50 50 syrah sangiovese. Blueberries, pie crust, savory herbs, lavender. Silky, tart acid with an underlying smoothness. Yum.

50/50 syrah sangio. Like all of Stolpman's wines, so vivacious and full of sweet fruit when young, but the structures there. Needs more time to come alive but still loved it

Potpourri, flower petals. A lot of blue fruit. Transcends into lion’s mane, blossoming fruit that lingers on the nose and carries across the pallet. It leaves me wanting more … Really clean. This is CA all the way and not too hot. Well done.

A little past its time, lots of sediment but didn’t decant. Still good but time to drink

This was quite a wine. Serious, but so pleasurable. Such a cool blend of equal parts Syrah and Sangiovese. Really exhibited a lot of classic Bordeaux notes. The Syrah and Sangio melded together and created a really harmonious composite. One of the best integrated wines I've had in some time. Well done.

This might be my favorite red I’ve ever had... it’s perfect.

Not a bad wine. I'm just not a big Sangiovese fan
