WINE DESCRIPTION

Stolpman Vineyards' flagship wine has always been their Estate Grown Syrah, representing the heart of the Syrah-focused Ballard Canyon AVA. This cuvee combines the oldest vines dating back to the 1990s with more recent high-density plantings from the 2000s, and even includes some of the newest Syrah selections. Each year, the wine masterfully balances richness and vibrancy, a testament to Ballard Canyon's unique climate with cold nights and brief periods of daytime warmth. The limestone-rich subsoil enhances natural acidity, while Ruben Solorzano's practice of withholding irrigation results in remarkable concentration during the dry growing season.

ORIGINS

Winery: Stolpman Vineyards

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
