LAvion 2016
An exceptionally moderate vintage, 2016 created supple, coating wines that reward both those looking for immediate gratification and long-term Cellar rats. Regardless of vintage, these old, low-yielding Roussanne vines always give us tremendous intensity – the stamp of 2016 might be a heightened, deep sensuality on the ripe, perfumed nose. Sensory Packed full of tropical fruit, golden pineapple, white flowers, jasmine, and the telltale L’Avion honeysuckle – 2016 does not disappoint! These barrels were simply magical. After a couple of vintages of ratcheting down the new oak percentage, the insane concentration of 2016 justified a return to 100% new French 500L oak puncheon (40% new oak in typical barrel surface area equivalent) for fermentation and then 60% new 500L puncheons for extended aging, 40% neutral. The oak is already beautifully integrated and rather than toasty notes – the oak imparts sweet perfume and further depth to the beautifully concentrated fruit.
Critical Acclaim
92 Vinous
Stolpman's 2016 Roussanne L'Avion is laced with apricot jam, chamomile, orange peel, hazelnut and honeysuckle. Oily yet also light on its feet, the Avion is all class. As always, the Stolpman Roussanne includes a good bit of Chardonnay, 10% in this vintage.
