Clear, deep ruby to purple in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of blackberries, black cherries, and leather; on the palate, it's dry with medium acidity, medium tannins, high alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of blueberries, plum sauce, and clay pots with a long finish. This wine is intense and complex. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. — 3 months ago

I find almond and pomegranate, freshly mown grass. Sweet palate with just enough acidity to keep it going. — 4 years ago

We loved this! The lingering taste was the best part of this, can’t wait to try it with food.

Mmmm. Decanted for 2 hours and was super smooth. Flavor lingers. Typical Nebbiolo profile. — 6 years ago

Not the most exciting grapes, but this is a revelation. Highly expressive, beautifully balanced dry white. Sunny, wild herbs, tasty dry white. Lidl €11.99 absolute bargain. — 8 years ago

The 2022 Piedra Sassi Viognier from the Santa Rita Hills- to no surprise- is a remarkably rich and full-bodied example of the varietal from out west. The nose is a powerful blend of kiwi, limestone, and other deeper earthy notes that I just don’t have the vocabulary to describe. Lots there. What I CAN say is that the palate and the finish as well round-out in a sumptuous and gratifying fashion. Not easy to make a Viognier like this outside of Virginia. Piedra Sassi has. — 9 months ago

Peppery and medium bodied. A lush taste without being being sweet. A lot of cherries and then blackberries, to finish a bit tart. — 4 years ago

Cherry, red currant and almond on the nose. The palate shows a strong acid backbone, a shiny, tangy red fruit all along, a bit of width and some matter. A tannic wall with a grain comes up in mid palate, powering up a very long finish with that grain and red berries. It's not bad! Works better with food though — 5 years ago

Loved this wine! It was delicious now, 2017 vintage,& had just enough acidity, tannins, + nice structure. Not sure if it would hold up in the cellar. The all natural, organic, biodynamic wines are generally earlier drinkers. Would buy again if found! — 7 years ago

While clearly a labor of love from a family who cares to express it, the 2021 Santa Barbara County Syrah needs time to breathe and allow to open itself up. While a little pour right from the rip is never a bad idea, this particular Piedra Sassi benefits and blossoms from a thorough decant and a smidge of patience. It must be said : I’m getting not only getting good gobs of both wholehearted and heartfelt tones of ‘home’, but deeper notes of some brilliant wine-making going on. This one’s going to be tough to beat for the $. — a year ago
