Stolpman is one of the jewels of Santa Barbara. I don’t think I’ve had a bad wine from them. This is fresh and saline on the nose with some minerality. I can’t remember if this sees a barrel, but I maybe detect a hint of vanilla? It has some weight on the palate, but enough acidity to keep it in balance. Definitely some stone fruit. Overall a lighter, fresher interpretation of the varietal. Paired well with homemade chicken paillard.
