2019 Stolpman Vineyards El Padrino de la Cuadrilla Ballard Canyon "Made only in the best vintages and bottled only in magnums, the 2019 El Padrino de la Cuadrilla (a tribute to longtime vineyard manager Ruben Solorzano) has a medium ruby-purple color and rich blackcurrant scents with touches of loamy earth, lilac, coffee beans and spices. The full-bodied palate is chalky and fresh with spicy fruits and broody iron tones on the long finish." --Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 Points!!! Winery Notes: "The best "reserve" lot of the greater Cuadrilla cuvee. Only bottled in 1.5L magnums to prolong the life of this well-structured, age-worthy red blend. Only mature plantings from the 1990s made the cut into the 2019 Padrino: 70% Block 5 Syrah planted in 1995 for smooth depth, 15% Block 1 Grenache planted in 1992 for structure and backbone, and 15% Block 3 Sangiovese planted in 1994 for juicy brightness. As our Cuadrilla bottling has evolved so has the crew's taste in wine. Alongside the fruit-forward, supple deliciousness of La Cuadrilla, the crew yearned for a world-class, collectible bottling to proudly share with their family and friends. Ruben Solorzano's mighty torso again appears on the label in 2019. The Padrino (Godfather) of la Cuadrilla, Ruben created la Cuadrilla to train the crew in fine-wine farming. Because he never got the 2016 cuadrilla label tattooed as he had promised, this Magnum label ensures that the photoshopped tattoos - designed by Creative Director Kari Crist - will live forever in the form of these magnums in our cellars."
