    Sandhi 2021 Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills

    Price range: $39.99 through $210.00

    Santa Barbara County California
    Wine Advocate 96 Rating
    The 2021 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills has a medium ruby color and pretty scents of cinnamon stick, aniseed, iron, underbrush and charcuterie with a core of red cherries and cranberries. Medium-bodied yet very concentrated, it has a powdery frame, sparks of refreshing acidity and a very long, graphite-driven finish. Precise and detailed, it deserves to spend another 2-3 years in bottle.

  • Sanford 2018 Pinot Noir La Rinconada Vineyard

    Sanford 2018 Pinot Noir La Rinconada Vineyard

    Price range: $59.99 through $240.00

    Santa Rita Hills California
    The 2018 La Rinconada Vineyard Pinot Noir is a wine of tremendous depth. Black tea, leather, fennel, and raspberries all jump out of the glass. The 2018 is deep, rich and suave with great length. This wine is delicious now yet has the balance and structure to age gracefully for some time.

    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

    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.

    Pale straw-yellow with soft hints of green. Its winy aroma is well-balanced, delicate though distinct, with a fresh fragrance, reminiscent of ripe apples.Harmonious, dry but not harsh, crisp and rather lively, with a pleasantly lingering aftertaste of almonds. An ideal accompaniment for fish dishes, especially shellfish..

    Ripe, sweet cherry and strawberry flavors are offset with savory elements of mushroom, woodsy underbrush and leather. This intense red is well integrated and supple in texture, with a terrific, succulent aftertaste. Drink now through 2040.

    $199.99

    Willow 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. SP41-6

    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

    I was able to taste the 2017 James Berry Vineyard beside the perfect 2016 and there’s not much difference between these two sensational wines. The 2017 reveals a deep ruby color as well as more straight, focused, yet beautifully concentrated style that reveals gorgeous black raspberry and blackberry fruits interwoven with pepper, spring flowers, earth, and incense. SP20-6
