There's a story behind Stolpman's La Cuadrilla that makes us love this wine even more. At their estate in Santa Barbara County's Ballard Canyon, the Stolpman family set aside a portion of their vineyards for the crew who tend the vines. Rather than simply receiving a wage, the vineyard workers share in the profits from the wine they help produce. It's a rather wonderful idea, and one that's become an important part of the Stolpman story.
The 2024 is a Syrah-led blend from the estate's limestone-rich vineyards, bringing together the generous fruit of California's Central Coast with the freshness that makes Ballard Canyon such an exciting place for Rhône varieties. Made for early enjoyment rather than years in the cellar, it's a wine that delivers plenty of character without demanding too much attention.
Juicy blackberry, black cherry and ripe plum meet violet, cracked pepper and a little savoury spice. There's a lovely richness to the fruit, balanced by soft tannins and enough freshness to keep everything lively. Give it a slight chill and bring on the burgers, grilled sausages, barbecue or a big plate of tacos. A delicious wine with a genuinely good story behind it.
