I recently had to opportunity to taste the newly released 2004 Stoplman Vineyard Sangiovese. The fruit is 100% estate grown. This is jammy wine without being "gooey" Soft tannins. Nice mid to back palate. Raspberry and plum with a hint of spice. Very nice balanced wine. It should pair well with the traditional tomato based Italian dishes. Since I can't eat tomato based products I will be making Oso Bucco which I think will be a good pairing also.
