Shadow Canyon Vineyard Syrah - Grenache Blend 2019

A perfect example of Russ From’s style, a powerful rendition of Syrah. Do not be out off by the abv - this is silky smooth and does not cone accross as hot by any means. — 6 months ago

Pleasantly surprised with this, as Stoplman wines have been on my shit-list for a New York minute. Unflattering pepper and vegetal nose, transitions into a very presentable olive and leather-laced experience. Nice dark fruit profile cherries and blueberries. Finished sweet and sensual - Fulton St, NYC. — 7 years ago

Purisima Mountain Vineyard Syrah 2010

Wow. This was an absolutely stunning btl of Syrah. On the nose: violets, olive brine, bacon, soft vanilla cream, blackberry, dried blackberry, soft leather...amazing complexity. On the palate: fantastic acidity and density, pure syrah fruit, and very soft tannin on the finish. — 5 years ago

Diora

La Petite Grace Monterey Pinot Noir 2017

Inspired by the golden hills that frame the landscape of San Bernabe Vineyard at the southern edge of the Santa Lucia Mountain range. Deep color with berry fruit aromas and notes of toasty honey scents. On the palate blueberry and cherry flavors with vanilla, cacao and toasty notes. Smooth tannins balanced well with acidity, lingering ending with espresso and spice character. Nice value. — 7 years ago

Vineyard Under the Mountain Carignan 2015

Fruit juicy goodness. Dark, inky purple and nice acid/black fruit balance. Blackberry, goose berry, boysenberry...plenty of fruit but lively in the mouth and remarkably light on its feet. Round, soft tannins escort the wine on its finish. I used to recommend Cabernet to accompany that crusty, juicy medium rare filet... but this makes a brilliant case for carignan from a good producer and old vines. — 5 years ago
