Stolpman Vineyards
Para Maria de los Tecolotes Syrah - Petit Verdot Blend
Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, USASeems much riper and with distinct R/S compared to older Stolpman bottlings.
Plenty of generous, cooked blackberry with some hints of herbs and tar. Not a lot of the violet/florals I would hope for given this level of PV in this.

Good, not great. lacking a bit of structure. Cool label!

Punctuating a row of B Day wines, up in Columbia county. No notes but juicy-black fruits, juicy mid palate. 80% Syrah, 20% petit Verdot. Balanced- not open knit like my only Cali Syrah reference point, Tensley.

The 2017 Para Maria de los Tecolotes, a blend of Syrah and Petit Verdot, is pliant and energetic, with terrific balance and tons of sheer appeal. Dark red fruit, spice and wild flowers all develop in this forward, inviting wine from Stolpman. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2019)

Can you call a wine a juice bomb? Because that’s what this is: raspberry, bacon fat, game juices and herbs...perfectly balanced and presenting itself like an old-school Crozes-Hermitage.

Bright fruit. Slight smoke. Easy to drink. The least expensive of our tasting and predictably the most approachable now. This was great for $20 bucks.

Aug 14th, 20181/3 whole clustered. 93% Syrah, 7% Petit Verdot. Bright red, black fruits explosion with some stemmy notes, in a good way. Good concentration. Very dry on the palate. Better with steak.
