This red has become the calling card not only for Stolpman, but for the Ballard Canyon AVA. Lively and fresh, the Estate Syrah swooshes out of the glass with a nuance and decadence, with notes of plum, roasted meat, and leather that burst into bright red fruit and spice with a few swirls on the palate. Refined, with an excellent balance, this wine pairs brilliantly with pot roast, ham, and even vegetable lasagna, and will only improve with time.
