Behind every cheap wine there’s usually a bunch of exploited workers or growers. That ain’t the case with Stolpman’s La Cuadrilla, one of the best values from California. In fact, 100% of the profits from this wine go back to the vineyard’s workers, La Cuadrilla or the crew, who get to operate as farmers rather than mere laborers. They are also responsible for making all the farming decisions, from pruning to harvest. The resulting wine is expressive, wonderfully aromatic and just delicious. A blend of 70% Syrah, 15% Grenache and 15% Sangiovese from Stolpman’s vineyards in the Ballard Canyon AVA, it shows beautiful aromas of red fruit, spicy notes and flavors of juicy red fruit.
