2016 Ballard Canyon in a snapshot: high-energy, fresh, pure. This year’s Cuadrilla is Syrah-heavy (72%), with Sangio and Grenache for lift. One of the best yet in this series of extraordinary wines! #stolpmanvineyards #ballardcanyon #syrah

Comes off a bit hot at first. But very smooth medium bodied blend. Fruity and a bit spicy.
