Stolpman 2019 Para Maria de Los Tecolotes Red (Santa Barbara County)
#22 Enthusiast 100 2021
Return to List This affordable blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Petit Verdot always impresses. Expertly captured aromas of berry juice, pepper and thyme are savory yet soft on the nose. The palate is tense in structure but ripe in fleshy dark-red-fruit flavors, all elevated by touches of cracked pepper and lavender. Matt Kettmann
