"Stolpman fired up California,s chilled red scene, and this vintage brings complexity to the fun bag. Vibrant aromas of pomegranate and rose extract lead into a zesty palate that dances across the tongue with energetic glee, carrying flavors of geranium, plum and peppercorn. There are even tannins on the finish. Editor,s Choice. ‡ Matt Kettmann"

"From the cool-climate pockets of Santa Barbara county comes this unique carbonic Sangiovese. The nose has bruised fruit and some earthy, spicy notes like cinnamon. There's a great balance between acid and fruit on the palate. Punchy, simple, and easy, but very well made."
