Stolpman Vineyards 2012 'Angeli' Syrah, Santa Ynez Valley

92 Points - rare                                    
One of our favorite California Syrahs.

92 Points Robert Parker:  "In the same ballpark, the 2012 Angeli is 100% Syrah that comes from a single block of own rooted vines. It too is medium to full-bodied, rich and textured, with pretty violets, purple fruits, spring flowers and edgy minerality. Seeing 80% whole clusters and 18 months in puncheons, it has bright acidity and clean, nicely focused feel. It is another outstanding Syrah that will evolve for a decade. This was a fantastic lineup by the team at Stolpman, and the wines are all made by Sashi Moorman."
