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. — 5 days ago

Bright and fresh as well but this shows a lot more texture, balanced acidity, apple and quince — 23 days ago

Nose: One of the most captivating Chardonnays I’ve encountered. Enticing layers of lemon tart, ripe lychee, fragrant perfume, and a distinctive touch of holy basil.
Palate: Medium-bodied yet intensely flavorful, bursting with bright lemon curd, silky cream, and toasted notes. The acidity is vibrant and refreshing, keeping everything lively. Oak is present and supportive, adding structure without ever overpowering the fruit. — 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 — 23 days 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 — 3 months ago
