Stolo 2014 Estate Syrah (San Luis Obispo County).
“This is possibly the most savory rendition of Syrah made on the Central Coast, each vintage as feral as the last. This bottling shows bloody lamb, crushed peppercorn, soy and barnyard elements on the nose. The palate is tense with tarry structure, revealing unusual kelp, stewed peppercorn, miso and teriyaki flavors.

Our location
Our location
Stolo Family Vineyards is located less than three miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, just east of the quaint seaside town of Cambria CA, a popular coastal escape for visitors. The location, chosen for its optimal cool climate growing conditions, is one of the closest vineyards to the coast in California. Cool foggy mornings give way to moderate, sunny afternoons allowing for long and even growing seasons. With longer time on the vines, the grapes become more expressive of “place”, exuding flavors that mirror the ocean breeze and clay loam soil.
Stolo Family Vineyards’ nine acre Hillside Vineyard was planted in 1998 to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah. In 2008, the Creekside Vineyard was meticulously planted to Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Noir. New Chardonnay and Syrah vines were also added to the Creekside Vineyard in 2014. These selected varietals are known to create world-class wines when grown in cool climate areas.
We are the only Estate winery and vineyard in Cambria and the surrounding area. We create Estate wines filled with passion for and expression of our unique place. Stolo Family Vineyards captures the Coast in a bottle.
