Stolpman, Red Blend "La Cuadrilla" 2023

NOTES - Plush Lavender with hints of fresh, crunchy red berry. A swirl of juicy red to purple plum.  The fresh, lively front palate leads into a weighty, more serious middle. Exciting spicy pepper notes trace behind the fruit on the nose and ride over the soft, fine tannin. Dynamic and rewarding now on release, this wine will be supple and luxurious by early 2025 and the “yum quotient” will surely rise exponentially. Even now, with a few minutes of air the 50% Syrah takes command, getting darker and bolder, harkening for grilled red meat. Another dried herb, menthol layer appears, showing future evolution and complexity.
