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.

Much younger than the Southing and Ten, less time in oak but it’s pretty ready to drink now. Juicy cherry, Santa Rita spices, and mouthwatering acidity.
