92 point Syrah for 16.98, seen elsewhere for as high as $34.99!
The 2006 Estate Grown Syrah from Stolpman Vineyards for $16.98 is probably the best deal that we've had on a California Syrah in a long time. Only a couple years ago it was selling in most places for $30-35, and it was a good bottle at that price. Now, it's an absolute steal!
We're not the only one who think Stolpman is excellent source for great syrah. Some of the wineries that have sourced fruit from Stolpman include: Sine Qua Non, Ojai Vineyards, and Jaffurs just to name a few.
Stolpman Vineyard is managed by perhaps the most respected precision viticulture team in the Central Coast, Coastal Vineyard Care Associates headed by Jeff Newton, who also manages the much talked about Jonata Wine project located next to Stolpman and owned by the owners of Screaming Eagle with consulting winemaker, Michael Rolland.
Jonata recently received a 98-100 point score for its Syrah from 2007. Stolpman has the same viticulture team and neighbors on Jonata's vineyards. I think you know where we're going with this.
The 2006 Stolpman Syrah is a great wine at a ridiculously low price given its credentials and the quality in the bottle!
Reviews
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 92 points
Opaque ruby. Exotically perfumed bouquet of dark berries, Christmas spices, violet and minerals. Elegant, medium-bodied red and dark berry flavors stain the palate, with a dusty mineral quality contributing energy. Sappy dark berry flavors linger on the long, juicy finish. This is already delicious.
