Tasted 15 October 2016
Sonoma County · Alexander Valley
Similar to my specific tasting notes from 9/23/2016. Nice refreshing glass of SB. Not especially enticing or noteworthy necessarily, but a decent start to the flight.
Fruity and flat on the attack, with a hollow mid-palate that stumbled its way to a hot, booze-ridden finish. No real grip or frame aside from the distracting alcohol sensation on the back end.
Previous notes apply. Showed more complexity than its 2014 Hall Howell peer that was served the day before, but didn't do a ton to really show that it belongs in the upper echelons of Napa Cabernets.…
