Stolpman Love You Bunches Red 2023

Stolpman Vineyards was founded by husband and wife team Tom & Marilyn Stolpman. In 1988 their search for limestone near the ocean ended with the purchase of what is now Stolpman Vineyards in Ballard Canyon AVA of Santa Barbara County. 

This 100% carbonically fermented Sangiovese is a blend of Stolpman’s estate Sangiovese along with Ruben Solorzano’s Sangiovese plantings from throughout Santa Barbara County including Happy Canyon, Los Olivos, and Los Alamos. A 1-3 week whole-grape native fermentation in sealed, round carbonic tanks and smaller 1.5 ton trans-store tanks is followed by 2-4 months aging in 80% stainless steel, 20% neutral French Ermitage 500L puncheons. 

Lush red fruit tinged with nervy, crunchy taut berry. Yummy thickness on the front palate tapers to a precise, razor sharp, crisp finish.
