A blend of 60% Syrah, 25% Grenache and 15% Sangiovese, the 2024 La Cuadrilla is flat-out delicious. At once both bright and velvety-rich, the 2024 soaks into the palate with lively layers of black cherry, cinnamon, rose petal, orange zest and gravelly mineral tones. The textural harmony and brilliance of the acids are undeniable. The 2024 is a fabulous wine and—best of all—a ridiculous value. I would be a happy camper if more restaurants would put wines like this on their by-the-glass lists.

As ever, the 2024 La Cuadrilla is a Syrah-dominant blend that includes Grenache and Sangiovese, with the proceeds distributed among Stolpman's vineyard crew. Black fruits, herbs, citrus and stony flourishes come together on the nose, introducing a luscious, succulent palate and a crunchy, chalky finish that lingers with floral overtones.

Subtly loamy and earthy, with gentle notes of rose petal mixed with graphite and baking spice details that frame the black cherry and plum core. Finishes with refined tannins. Syrah, Sangiovese and Grenache. Drink now. 7,750 cases made.

Sweet purple berries and plums, cacao nibs, flowers and vanilla make for a friendly wine with an energetic palate and a silky texture structured by long, fine-grained tannins. A dusting of vanilla and a hint of ash are threaded throughout. Drink or hold.
