We have a bit more of this great deal remaining from Stolo today at our same special pricing. Creekside is a wine that Raj Parr sent us a sample of recently, and we are happy to report it is another beautiful bottle of Pinot Noir from Stolo Vineyards. We were able to get a good deal on this one, and typically, this goes for about two times more. For those that need a small refresher, the well-known Somellier Raj Parr Purchased Stolo in 2019 and became the winemaker with a few instant successes that our clients loved, completing his first solo vintage in 2021. Raj thinks that Cambria is one of the best spots in California for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and has proved with the last few releases that it is in the conversation. The creekside vineyard is a 14-acre vineyard planted in 2008 to the Rocchioli Pinot Noir Clone from the SLO Coast AVA, just three miles from the ocean, that is farmed sustainably with tight vineyard spacing to limit yields. We just tasted this yesterday, and it is downright delicious with notes of red fruits, underbrush, roses, spice box, earth, and liquid minerals. The palate is ample and lush, delivering notes of red berries with some spices, salinity, and dry extract. As far as domestic Pinot Noir goes for the price, we have not tasted anything close to this quality in the last couple of years. This wine showcases new-world fruit in a Burgundian style and does it very well. Raj Parr did the elevage here, and the wine spent 11 months in French oak, of which 20% was new. As mentioned, we were able to get a deal on this one, and typically, it goes for $50+, but we have it at half price today, making it a great way to try the wines from Stolo at a lower price than some of the other Pinot Noirs we have offered and comes highly recommended!
Wine Enthusiast 92 points! "Charred game and tar aromas contribute a savory touch to the dark raspberry and light lavender aromas on the nose of this bottling from a vineyard just behind the seaside town of Cambria. Brisk cranberry is enlivened by sagebrush and salumi on the palate, which is taut in texture."
