Ballard Canyon is perhaps the only appellation in the U.S. principally known for Syrah and Stolpman's estate vineyard is among its finest sites. Aged entirely in neutral barrel, this is a clear look into why a more hands-off approach with Syrah can still produce wines of intensity, color, and individuality. 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.
