The Combe 2020 Trousseau is yet another winner from this inspired collaboration between Stolpman and Raj Parr. Trousseau is most famous for making elegant but heady wines in the Jura of eastern France but here, it achieves a more playful expression and is aged in a mix of steel and concrete. Pair this wine with duck breast, dried fruits and charcuterie, or hearty eggplant.
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.
