Saint-Damien 2022 Vacqueyras
Price range: $29.99 through $150.00Southern Rhone Valley France
Jeb Dunnuck 92 Rating
The first Vacqueyras I’ve tasted from this brilliant Gigondas estate, the 2022 Vacqueyras has pure red and black fruits as well as textbook spicy herbs, pepper, and savory flower aromas and flavors. It’s concentrated, medium to full-bodied, has plenty of mid-palate depth, and outstanding length. I’d happily be a buyer. SP36-6

San Marzano 2020 Primitivo di Manduria Old Vines Sessantanni
Price range: $34.99 through $180.00Puglia Italy
Enjoyabilityfactor 96 Rating
The “Sessantanni” Primitivo di Manduria represents the highest quality of the San Marzano Winery and one of the most interesting expressions of this great Mediterranean vine. It is a red suitable for those who love amplitude, structure and rich, almost opulent extraction, which translates into warm, soft and enveloping sensations. In the glass it has a very intense ruby color. The bouquet expresses ripe aromas of red fruit, notes of jam, spicy hints, toasted and woody nuances. On the palate it has a body full of aromas, with beautiful tertiary evolutions that amplify its complexity. The tannic texture is harmonious, the freshness very balanced and the finish of great persistence.

San Marzano ‘Edda’ Bianco is straw yellow in color with golden reflections. On the nose, ripe peach, smooth vanilla and floral notes perfectly balance the fresh lime, mint and herbal complexity. The palate is generous and full of elegance, freshness and minerality. This wine is beautifully rounded with an exceptional well-balanced palate. regular $29.99

San Polo 2020 Brunello di Montalcino
Price range: $69.99 through $360.00Tuscany Italy
James Suckling 94 Rating
Plenty of red fruit with cherry and orange-peel character on both the nose and palate. It’s medium-bodied with a round texture and ripe-berry character. Juicy and velvety textured. Just a hint of white pepper and spice at the end. Very drinkable now, but better in two or three years. Try after 2027.

Wine Enthusiast 91 Rating
The nose is fresh yet warm, with aromas of citrus blossom, almond butter and lemon. On the palate, those delicate components hold their own against powerful waves of salt and heat. Satisfying and refreshing.

Sanford 2021 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard
$64.99Santa Rita Hills California
Wine Enthusiast 96 Rating
Intense aromas of black cherry and raspberry meet with flat, fluffy red flowers on the nose of this bottling, which is like smelling a redolent bouquet after a bite of hot cherry pie. The palate is very tense at first before unfurling into layers of creamy strawberry and violet. A seamless sip. R17-6 -
Sanford 2022 Pinot Noir
Price range: $34.99 through $348.00Santa Rita Hills California
Tasting Panel 94 Rating
From two iconic vineyards, La Rinconada and Sanford & Benedict, this red aged II months in French oak speaks of fresh earth, bright cherry, and a pinch of white pepper. A cascade of red flowers, rooibos tea, and hot cinnamon candy adds to its graceful charm.

Saxum 2017 Broken Stones Vineyard
$199.99Willow Creek District Paso Robles California
Jeb Dunnuck 97 Rating
The 2017 Broken Stones is another full-bodied effort, yet it has a wonderful sense of elegance and purity as well as complexity. Deep purple-hued with rocking chalky minerality as well as notes of black raspberries, blood orange, incense, and flowers, it hits the palate with sweet tannins, no hard edges, a stunning texture, and a great finish.

Saxum 2017 Gratias
$199.99Willow Creek District Paso Robles California
Jeb Dunnuck 95 Rating
Lastly, the 2017 Gratias is being offered free to those on the mailing list as a way of saying thank you, a great example of the type of person Smith is. Already bottled, it offers an incredibly perfumed, pretty, sexy style as well as notes of kirsch and strawberries intermixed with plenty of spice and flowery incense notes. Full-bodied, silky, and as gulpable as it gets, it’s a classy wine that does everything right. SP41-2
