2023 Syrah Stolo Vineyard SLO Coast
2023 Syrah Stolo Vineyard SLO Coast
The phenomenal return to the coolest climate Syrah vineyard in the US. Stolo Vineyard is dry-farmed and sits on alluvial soils two miles in from the ocean in Cambria. My first vintage here was in 2017.
From RobertParker.com: "The 2023 Syrah Stolo Vineyard is a featherweight beauty reminiscent of the now much sought-after Arnot-Roberts Clary Ranch bottling. The nose is a lovely combination of peppery, savory, cool-climate Syrah goodness with a beautiful oceanic floral lift. The palate is juicy and energetic, lined with crunchy acidity and finished with fine-grained tannins that stitch the wine together beautifully. This is very well done, and I eagerly look forward to following its progress in bottle."
