Pure limestone tension and savory depth. 🍷

Ballard Canyon AVA is arguably California’s holy grail for Syrah, and Stolpman Vineyards continues to demonstrate why. Sitting on high-elevation limestone soils —blazing daytime sun followed by fog pulled straight off the Pacific via the Santa Ynez wind gap—this terroir delivers power without losing its cool-climate backbone.

In the glass, it’s distinctly northern-Rhône-leaning in spirit, but with undeniable Central Coast vitality:

Aromatics: Violet florals 🪻, crushed blackberry, smoked meat, cured olive 🫒, and freshly cracked black peppercorn.

Palate: Energetic, mouth-watering acidity framed by fine-grained, chalky tannins. Rich black fruit gives way to a long, savory, tapenade-and-iron mineral finish.

Unfined, unfiltered, and deeply expressive of place. Syrah in California doesn't get much more complete than this.

If you’re looking for an Albariño that completely redefines what Atlantic terroir can do, look no further than Pedraneira by the iconic Eulogio Pomares.

Sourced from a tiny, single parcel in Castrelo—right in the heart of the Val do Salnés subregion of Rías Baixas—these 40+ year-old vines sit just steps from the ocean, bathed in cool coastal breezes and rooted in granite-rich soils.

What’s in the glass?
🍋 Nose: Bright Meyer lemon, white peach, crushed seashells, and green apple.
⚡️ Palate: Laser-sharp acidity balanced by a rich, texturized mouthfeel from lees aging.
🦪 Finish: That unmistakable, lingering saline crunch that leaves you reaching straight for another glass.

Perfect pairings:
🦪 Fresh oysters & clams
🦀 Butter-poached lobster or crab
🐟 Roasted sea bass or hake with lemon
🧀 Aged goat or sheep cheese
