La Cuadrilla — the Crew — is a unique blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Sangiovese. The Crew is a celebration of the crew members that support Stolpman Vineyards with at least 10% of the profits going back to the vineyards and winemaking team. La Cuadrilla’s black cherry and wild strawberry body balance nicely with the wine’s subtle leather and earthiness. Syrah dominated, the wine has a moderate body and good complexity.
