Stolpman Vineyards 2019 Para Maria de las Tecolotes
Berry juice, pepper and thyme give a savoury profile with fruit purity and spicy complexity. Syrah makes up eighty percent of the blend, with Petit Verdot comprising the remaining twenty percent. The fruit was carefully selected for the bottling. The vineyards lie in Santa Barbara County, where the growers responsible for the fruit have cultivated vines at the estate since the mid-1990s.

Smoky plum, dark fruit, strawberry and melon accompany a deep ruby colour. The Pinot Noir is supple, fruit-forward and rich. Fruit comes from Bien Nacido, Le Bon Climat, Rancho La Cuna, Kick On and Los Alamos vineyards. It spends ten months in French oak, including ten percent new barrels, and carries 13.5 percent alcohol.
Piro Wine Company 2018 Runway Vineyard Pinot Noir
Dark berries, slight reduction, dark red fruit and sweet elderberry appear in a bold yet delicate profile. The wine is made entirely from Pinot Noir, and every bunch is fully destemmed. Fermentation takes place in an open-top vessel, with fourteen days on skins. Barrel ageing lasts twenty-one months across new, neutral and once-used French oak.
