Whites fashioned after France's Southern Rhône Valley has become a bit of an obsession for us as of late due to their depth and complexity. Roussanne hasn't become a big hit yet here domestically but we think Stolpman's example could change that and quickly. Just a kiss of new oak gives the wine an extra layer of richness. 92pts 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.
