Medium to full body

There’s tremendous purity on the nose of this wine

Its naturally sweet and slightly effervescent palate makes it a refreshing choice for any occasion

wild thyme and brambly raspberry that fold over onto the palate

There is a change in the 2022 La Bruja

2017 | Stolpman Vineyards Ruben's Block Syrah | Ballard Canyon Château de Valandraud Medium to full bodyNamed after the vineyard manager and two thirds destemmed, the 2017 Syrah Ruben's Block spent a full 28 months all in neutral oak prior to bottling. This ripe, sexy wine has rocking blue fruits as well as lots of peppery herbs, meat, crushed stone and sappy flower aromas and flavors. It's one of the more textured, seamless wines in the lineup and has beautiful balance as well as a great finish. 95 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
