Lots of black and blue fruit, fleshy and saturated, with olive and bacon fat more prominent than spice. Ripe and concentrated without being jammy. Laser focused.

My wife’s favorite. Pure Pinot fruit not super complex but balanced and extremely friendly with veal — 2 months ago

I used to get allocations of SS back in the mid-2000s. It’s been a long time, but this doesn’t live up to what I remember.
Big nose of ripe cherries and Dr Pepper. Palate is showing raspberry, oak, and that classic Dr Pepper again. One-dimensional in my opinion, but crushable. — 2 months ago

Deep rich core of red/black fruit, smoke, duck fat and oak. Very pleasing offering and this seems like it could last another 10 years. My only knock is some lack of acidity. Other then that excellent — 4 months ago

Seriously young but showing laser focused Pinot fruit. Concentrated red fruit at its core with black pepper. Finish grips for at least a 60 sec. This is a baby, talk to this in 5 years minimum. Crazy potential — 2 months ago

Bright and fresh as well but this shows a lot more texture, balanced acidity, apple and quince — 2 months ago
