There are approximately 200 cases of the long barrique-aged (32-36 months) 2006 Angeli (100% Syrah). It is another example of a creative winemaker taking a page out of the Guigal winemaking book, and aging some of the finest fruit for long periods of time in wood. Manfred Krankl at Sine Qua Non was the first to do this (in 2001), and now Sashi Moorman at Stolpman, Justin Smith at Saxum, and John Alban at Alban Vineyards all practice extended barrel aging. The early returns are unquestionably favorable as demonstrated by this beautiful 2006. It exhibits sweet blackberry, smoked meat, forest floor, and cassis notes along with good freshness, superb concentration, and a long finish. There is not a hard edge to be found, and this beauty should evolve gracefully for a decade or more.Stolpman Vineyards continues to produce impressive wines under the guidance of the highly regarded Santa Ynez winemaker, Sashi Moorman.Tel.
