2019 Stolpman Vineyards Sangiovese ‘Love you Bunches’ Carbonic Maceration Estate Ballard Canyon

If served and chilled and tasted with an open mind, I believe this wine is irresistible. If you dare to disagree, taste this new 2019 vintage. Ka Boom – cherry sour candy and a crunchy red verve that sings through the mouth – this redefines the STOLPMAN SO FRESH brand. A friendly carbonic upfront pop followed by a touch of tart berry eschewing in a dusting of zippy tannin. A touch darker and more giving than the tightly wound 2018. Alc. 12.8%
2019 marked the second vintage in a row without harvest-time heat spikes. Facial Expressions around the team conveyed our shared thoughts and feelings without saying a word – a certain giddiness that we had a shot at replaying 2018 armed with that year of heat-free experience. And, the acids were hanging even higher and fresher than 2018.
