About Stolpman Vineyards
“Over 20 years ago, our Founding Partner, Tom Stolpman, discovered what we believe to be one of the greatest viticultural sites on earth. Hidden in the hills of California’s Central Coast, on a rare Limestone outcropping & unobstructed from the Pacific Ocean wind, this unique land is naturally suited to grow Syrah and Roussanne grapes. We are committed to preserving this natural environment for our vines through conscious farming, dry farming, & sustainable employment. In the winery, we prefer native fermentation & minimal manipulation.“

TASTING NOTES:
Syrah - “Super giving and generous, the Estate Grown Syrah will be the cuvée that proves the magic of the 2018 growing season for all who taste it. The first red wine release from our Ballard Canyon estate, it represents an unprecedented leap in “yum quotient” I couldn’t have dreamt possible when I took over the company 10 years ago. The thick, tantalizing red fruit through the palate bears a strong correlation to the best 2018 St. Joseph Syrah bottlings we tasted on our team’s June 2019 trip to France.” (AbV 14.1%)

Grenache - “Assistant winemaker Matt Nocas crowned this cuvée “baby-making wine”. It is red and romantic. Seductive and voluptuous. Polished to perfection, the wine glides – it is giving and generous but with serious structure and Intensity – somehow still leaving a sense of intrigue even after giving so much thick, plush deliciousness upfront.” (AbV 14.5%)

BARRELS:
10 months in French oak, 100% neutral.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
Did you know that “Stop, Drop, and Roll” isn’t as big as it was in teaching fire safety? Seems that if that’s drilled into kids’ heads, when asked what they do when there’s a fire in the house, it tends to be the answer. Instead of, you know, getting out of there safely. And I mean, who can blame them? It’s a catchy phrase. It just doesn’t exactly help much outside of literally being on fire.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
N/A

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Being not on fire. If you are on fire, well, that sounds like a you problem.
