One of the finest peaty single malts ever. The long gone 17 year old batch was superior by a hair, but this is some of the finest. Like a bed of sweet moss, misted with brine and caramel. — 11 years ago

Made by Jennifer and Herb Lamb, my favorite SB in CA! Blended with 3 clones of SB, they all show through, but, as it should be, the final product is greater than any individual component. They are also HUGE dog lovers! A plus for me. — 12 years ago

Didn't get to taste this last night; too many great wines. A little hair o'the dog this morning. Tight and brambly nose with a hint of eucalyptus, a palate of red fruits and loads of acidity, but with enough finesse to bring it all together. Smooth tannins and a bit of herbs on the long finish. Worth the price? Hmm. — 11 years ago

2011 vintage. 3/4 bottle, tasted on day 3. Napa Valley all the way. Creamy oak overtones dominate, though are enjoyable ;) Dark fruit skins. Pencil lead. Hints of peppery, tobacco. Simple, yet enjoyable. I've been enjoying the 2011 Napa Cabs with a few days of air. 13.5% on label! Haven't seen that often lately. Thank you 2011 for a more Bordeaux styled vintage. — 11 years ago

Super huge grapey nose. But very pure and nuanced. From Mauves. Very granitic soil. More tannin. Velvety. Very sweet fruit and a bit of dog biscuit in a good way. Profound! — 12 years ago

2009: quite dense appearance; ripe black / red fruit w a faint touch of horse hair (Brett ); generously proportioned attack of ripe red and black fruit, leads onto medium weight palate which finishes fruitfully but without the verve of a "classic" vintage. A satisfying and quite delicious drink without being memorable. A lot of 09 burgundies would fit these descriptors. — 11 years ago

Wildly funky nose of cauliflower, Cheerios, wet ferret, and charred pork rinds. Palate is big with black stone, a touch of heat, and lemon kiwi. For wine geeks only. $35 — 11 years ago
