Stolpman Vineyards 2023 Hilltops Syrah

Winery Notes:

Enticing out of the gate with yummy lifted red fruit over darker purples all sculpted by secondary notes of sweet and savory grilled meats. A high, pristine alpine meadow at dawn. Instead of pine trees, toasty oak frames the setting. Bringing the bottle back to the city, it screams for robust cuisine like Korean Short Ribs. Despite the intense “call to all carnivores” Syrah profile, 2023 Hilltops possesses the civility and grace of a finely orchestrated, manicured rose garden interspersed with rosemary and sage. The savoriness is saturated by rich ripeness. 20 year tannins arise long after the finish, like all Hilltops vintages, do not be afraid to age!
