Our September WOM is a customer favorite  red with depth, polish, and purpose. Stolpman’s NEW RELEASE of the 2024 La Cuadrilla blends 60% Syrah, 25% Grenache, and 15% Sangiovese into a lush, savory, beautifully balanced wine full of violet, rose petal, ripe red fruit, dark plum, black olive, and fresh-herb notes.

Rich and smooth with bright energy and a luxurious finish, it is a natural match for steak, burgers, barbecue, pizza, and cool September evenings.

Best of all, La Cuadrilla is Stolpman’s profit-sharing wine: proceeds support the vineyard crew and their families. The 2024 vintage supports 37 families through the program.
From the Wine Advocate (92pts):  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.
 
From Vinous (93pts):  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.
