Elegant! We are loving the quality you can taste coming from Grassini wines. This Sauvignon Blanc is floral with a nice full bodied and round finish that lingers with flavor. — 10 years ago
This wine thinks it is a dairy product - much more oak than we usually like (but that is why we tried the "long aged" - to try something different). Beautifully executed. — 11 years ago
We had the 2013 Vintage on 5/2-3/21. This was a terrific full bodied, well balanced wine. Tastes of blackberry, plum, kirsch and vanilla on the palate. The tannins were smoothed out. A great example of the Napa floor. — 5 years ago
A delicious blend that warms you up on a cool night. Great to curl up w a good book to. Bought in Santa Barbara at the Grassini wine tasting room. — 9 years ago
Opened an old one for Mother's Day. It decanted for an hour and it was amazing! — 10 years ago
I highly recommend decanting. This wine is majestic. It really evolves. At first uptight and no nonsense. It plays hard to get. Then over time it begins to come into its own acknowledging black fruit and currants then whispering some bell pepper and finally just sighing with a hint of and I mean just a hint of smoke. — 10 years ago
Cali Zin with refinement. Very nice. Need to get more of this. — 11 years ago
Vert light and fruity.. Easy to drink — 12 years ago
2002 vintage in January 2021. This is in a great place. Fully mature with big red fruit and balancing earth. Fruit is fully mature and developed some additional characteristics but still very hedonistic for a wine this age. At a peak/plateau with stuffing to keep going but why wait? Do it! — 5 years ago
I love the red blend, and Merlot. — 6 years ago

A wine that could not be in a better spot right now. Decanted at opening. Plush, soft aromas of black berries and plus just a touch of spice. On the palate this wine is juicy and soft, with velvety tannins and gorgeous acidity. Flavors of black plums and raspberries fill the glass around with wonderful spice box notes and just a kiss of oak. The finish seems to last forever with lingering spice and fruit notes. A truly wonderful wine. — 8 years ago
Really opened up the next day. I bet this would cellar very well. — 8 years ago
Chamomile, acacia honey, hazelnuts. Superbly concentrated, plenty of acidity, long. Lift & elegance. One of the best Stolpman Roussannes ever. @Peter Stolpman #ballardcanyon #roussanne — 9 years ago

Deep rich, cherries, some underlying pepper. Dry, balanced tannins. A keeper, especially at this price. — 5 years ago
