2014 Stolpman La Croce

Another great looking barrel sample, the 2014 La Croce (Syrah / Sangiovese) is an even split of Syrah and Sangiovese (co-fermented in concrete) and will see 20 months in neutral wood. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and tannic, with black fruits, scorched earth and cedar aromas and flavors, it will need to be forgotten for 2-3 years to let the tannins integrate, but this puppy is loaded with potential.
