A friend had a “reduction party” as he was needing to thin out his cellar. Definitely a party I’m happy to attend!

One of the better Napa SBs I’ve had. Love those mountain SBs because of the profile and power they exude. Aromatically it showed ripe grapefruit, sea salt, fresh squeezed lime over rocks, and wild flowers...even some mint. While a more round profile, it’s still a bit jagged at this age with acidity. Added notes of melon, pink sea salt and tart lemon lime. Definitely tropical, but not as much as Aesthete’s SB. This will age nicely.

Who says sb from Napa can't age? Still bright acidity (although the Alc presence and % higher than I'd prefer)

Tangy and crisp with mineral, structure, and bright fruit. Lemon, nectarine, oak, and elderflower.

Terrific bottle. Citrus, mint, and cream in perfect balance. Older school California style. Expensive but worth it.
