Product Overview
93 Points - Vinous
"The 2021 Roussanne L'Avion is a gorgeous, delicate wine. Over the years, Stolpman has dialed this wine back a bit, and that has paid off in spades. There's superb purity here. Orchard fruit, spice, tangerine oil, mint and light buttery notes all grace this racy, layered Roussanne. As always, there's a dollop of Chardonnay in the blend." -AG, Jul/2023
93 Points, "Cellar Selection" - Wine Enthusiast
"This bottling is always one for the cellar, or a great immediate alternative for lovers of rich, even aged Chardonnay. Aromas of hazelnut, pecan, masa and yellow cake make for a toasty nose. That warmth carries through the palate, where toasted nut and apple-pie flavors are leveled by salty citrus peel." -MK, 3/1/24
92 Points - Wine Advocate
"The 2021 L’Avion is a blend of 93% Roussanne and 7% Chardonnay made from vines planted in 1995 and 1999. It has inviting aromas of baked apples, bread dough, matchstick and charcuterie with savory undertones. The full-bodied palate features concentrated, savory fruit, an alluring touch of textural grip, just enough rounded freshness and a long, honeyed finish. 500 cases were made." -EB, 12/29/23
