Glossy and glassy. Oily, lime and stone fruit. This is the bigger framed style of SB that is not what I prefer. This is made well and has good stuffing but it's a bit too broad shouldered and heavy for me.

Bitter chocolate, currant and good structure. And, it gives me a sense that there is Cab varietal here, as it's not weighed down by bigger, modern touches. The red and back fruit pops nicely. Enjoyed this wine.

Drank next to the 2013, which I preferred better. Open textured, seems riper and that shows through the core of the wine. The oak seems more in play here, too.

This 2014 is plummy, spicy, lots of oak and while there is some Cab qualities here, it speaks a bit too modern for me. I know this will appeal to some, I just don't have my passion for this style.

Plush yet tight. Herbal and good acidity. Some oak to still shed and then the structure will help the wine settle.

Spicy and rich. Berry, cocoa and red fruit. Blue and black with air. Delicious and while there is plenty of modernity at play here right now, there is solid fruit under the structure that will need another 3-5 years to shed off.

Smooth, inky and powerful. Uber-dark with great balance and some finishing structure. I have not drank the 2014 in some time and this vintage of SR PR is humming, perhaps akin back to the epic 2005 that was glorious and iconic for me. I bought a handful of these to take with me as we left the winery, as this is one I will gladly keep more of to share and enjoy over the next 7-10 years.
