Combe is a collaboration between Stolpman and Raj Parr celebrating adventurous grape varieties in Ballard Canyon. This Chenin is raised in neutral puncheons and is bottled without the addition of sulfur. This is a powerhouse wine, full of beautiful flinty, smoky, toasty, mineral, and pomaceous fruit notes. Just a stunner, all the way around. 90pts Wine Enthusiast.
Stolpman Vineyard is a true heritage winery for Santa Barbara County and Peter is the second generation to run the family estate. Aside from the estate label, Peter also launched two ambitious projects: So Fresh and Combe. So Fresh is aptly named, as the brand aims to produce glou-glou style wines for immediate drinking that offer a more playful, light-hearted take on varieties like Syrah (of course) but also Sangiovese. In Combe, Peter partnered with the legendary Raj Parr to create esoteric wines from grapes not often associated with the region, like Trousseau and Chenin Blanc.
