Jeb Dunnuck, 93 Points 

"The 2022 Roussanne Stolpman Vineyard offers a more savory profile, with ripe orchard fruits, toasted bread, blanched almond, and sappy flower nuances. It's beautifully balanced, has a layered, seamless mouthfeel, remarkable purity, and a great finish. It's a terrific example of the variety." 

Vinous, 92 Points 

"The 2022 Roussanne Stolpman Vineyard is another terrific wine from Jaffurs. Hints of apricot, chamomile, orange peel and spice open first. Creamy and textured, with tons of depth, the 2022 is beautifully done." 

Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points 

"Aromas of pineapple slices, toasted almond flakes and white flower entice the nose on this bottling. There's a mix of grippy and oily textures on the palate, with lightly bitter herbs adding depth to the apple-flesh flavors." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The 2022 Roussanne is very aromatic, showing honeydew melon, white flowers and mint. Fleshy on the palate with stone fruit and chamomile flavors and a long, clean finish. This is a fresh and expressive Roussanne that can be enjoyed now but will gain complexity over 5-8 years." 

Alcohol: 13.3%
