Readers should not overlook the white wine made by Sashi Moorman called L’Avion. Made from 100% Roussanne, the 2007 L’Avion is terrific. A full-bodied, dry white offering copious quantities of honeysuckle, and a hint of that petroleum/terroir-like character that one finds in a late harvest wine from Alsace. However, this is a dry, beautifully rich, layered, perfumed white that represents an excellent example of what can be achieved in California’s Central Coast with top-notch whites. It should drink well for 2-3 years. Stolpman Vineyards continues to produce impressive wines under the guidance of the highly regarded Santa Ynez winemaker, Sashi Moorman.Tel. (805) 688-0400

This is quite a brilliant wine. An unusual blend of 90% Roussanne and 10% Viognier, it shows tremendous richness in the array of tangerine, Meyer lemon custard, pineapple tart, buttered toast and caramel cream flavors, yet has a stony minerality that anchors and dries it. Fermented in new oak and aged on the lees, this full-bodied, complex wine can be consumed by itself, or with rich fare, such as lobster or crab.——S.H.(4/1/2010)—— 93
