Country: US / Estate
Variety: Sangiovese California
Winery: Stolpman / Santa Ynez Valley
Stolpman grows its Sangiovese in an area of the Santa Ynez Valley where most producers specialize in Rhône varieties. The result is often one of the most interesting California interpretations of the great Tuscan grape. Give this a long decanting because right out the bottle it’s acidic and closed, but then the rich, spicy cherry flavor surfaces.
