| 2008 Stolpman Vineyards Roussanne "L'Avion" Winery: Stolpman Vineyards Vintage: 2008 Wine Name/Vineyard: "L'Avion" Wine Category: Roussanne Grape blend: 100% Roussanne Region: Santa Ynez State or country: CA Price: $38 Cases produced: 550 KWG Score: 91.3 (based on 3 reviews) Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good (89) Review date: December 13, 2010 Wine Review: This bright yellow colored wine opens with a very attractive orange marmalade bouquet with a hint of lychee and banana. On the palate, this wine is medium to full bodied and creamy, yet shows some lively acidity. The flavor profile is different. It displays green pear and fig flavors with a hint of white pepper, light oak, and chamomile tea. The finish is dry and its green pear flavors linger a bit. Pair this wine with roasted garlic chicken. Enjoy – Ken Winemaker Notes: An unrivaled Rockstar in the white wine world. 100% Roussanne picked when golden-brown in late November. Fermented in 100% New French 500L Puncheons and aged in New Oak for 15 months. White flower, tropical fruit, pear, honeysuckle and a sensuously thick texture. Organic status: not organic Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Stolpman 2008 L'Avion.
