"The even heat-free 2019 growing season allowed the grapes at Stolpman to retain healthy balancing acidity. Most of the 2019 reds are energetic and will greatly benefit from cellaring to hit the peak of enjoyment. However, 2019 Sun+Earth breaks the mold and hits the ground running as a blockbuster."

Wine Profile
"Red perfume with ripe grandesse gushing from the nose through to the finish. All the while, a higher tone layer of menthol and citrus rides suspended above the hedonistic core, broadening the spectrum and somehow making the wine even larger. Like Ruben Solorzano himself, an outpouring of love and emotion yet joyfully, effortlessly warm and friendly." Notes from the winery
