Falstaff (94)Gently bright ruby red in colour. On the nose, a complex bouquet, opening with ripe wild berries, ribes, notes of juniper, cedar wood and black pepper, and a touch of lilac. The palate is silky with precise fruit on very well-integrated, fine tannins, an elegant wine, gently powerful, with a long finish. |

Vinous (91)The 2021 Le Difese is redolent of crushed red berry fruit, rose petal, lavender, spice and sweet pipe tobacco. Medium in body yet nicely layered, the 2021 is impeccably balanced. It is also a sheer delight to taste at this early stage. In many vintages, Le Difese is a fruity, forward wine, but the 2021 has a nervy feeling of classicism that is hugely appealing. It's one of my favorite recent vintages. As it has been for some time, Le Difese is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon from the estate and Sangiovese purchased from several properties in Chianti Classico, with the energy of Sangiovese very much driving the feel in this vintage. |

Wine Advocate (97+)The 2015 San Leonardo pours forth with a beautiful velvety appearance and sultry dark garnet color. This wine shows a lot of life and dark fruit purity with black plum, blackberry, cassis and tarry prune. There is a delightful note of black pepper that is specific to this warm and sunny vintage. The fruit shows softer and richer concentration compared to past vintages and more pulpy density that gives this edition a bigger profile in terms of mouthfeel. Production is 75,000 bottles. San Leonardo is a wine made for long aging, but the nice thing about this vintage is that the bouquet remains quite accessible at this young age. Nevertheless, I'd still suggest keeping this bottle in your cellar so that it can calmly finish its evolution. |

Vinous (96)Another year in bottle has added unexpected depths and dimension to the 2016 San Leonardo. It wafts up with an alluring bouquet of smoky black currant and plum skins, complicated by savory herbs, hints of white pepper and fresh tobacco. It's hard chiseled edges have formed into smooth contours now, velvety yet youthfully dense, washing mineral encased dark red and black berries across a core of brisk acidity as a combination of saline-minerals and grippy tannins add tension toward the close. This finishes incredibly long yet also structured, begging for time in the cellar, as hints of licorice and earth tones grumble under an air of inner violet florals. The potential within the 2016 San Leonardo is off the charts, yet it will require a good amount of time to come fully into focus. Bury your bottles deep. |

Wine Advocate (95)The Tenuta San Leonardo 2017 San Leonardo (in a heavy glass bottle) shows subtle but unmistakable generosity and exuberance that is absolutely in line with this hot vintage. In this regard, the 2017 stands apart from past vintages from this estate that is celebrated for its elegant, undertone and long-term approach. This wine is slightly more accessible too, with plush, dark fruit, balanced oak spice and perfumed rose over a polished, silky mouthfeel. |

The special release of 999 bottles features the surreal artwork of Simone Berti. From a cool vintage, the 2018 San Leonardo is incredibly fine and beautiful with a filigree of aromas that recalls wild blackberry, tobacco, pressed rosemary, cherry tartlet and orange marmalade. The wine's elegance is extraordinary, and the mouthfeel is very fine and precise. This classic vintage will certainly appeal to San Leonardo purists. I recommend giving it a long runway to age. |

Fruit flavors embrace blackcurrant, spice and cured tobacco. There is a hit of black pepper in this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Merlot, but otherwise you get more ripeness in this medium- to full-bodied vintage. |

San Leonardo, Cabernet Franc 2020 exemplifies the pinnacle of fine winemaking, meticulously crafted in the heart of [Region, e.g., Tuscany]. Grown in sustainably managed vineyards, the Cabernet Franc grapes are handpicked at optimal ripeness to ensure exceptional quality. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, the wine undergoes a delicate maceration process, enhancing its vibrant fruit character and intricate tannic structure. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, it develops nuanced layers of blackberry, cedar, and subtle herbal notes, complemented by a refined acidity and silky finish. The esteemed San Leonardo estate, renowned for its dedication to traditional practices blended with modern techniques, delivers a Cabernet Franc that is both elegant and expressive. Perfectly suited to mature gracefully, this 2020 vintage promises an exquisite addition to any connoisseur’s collection, showcasing the distinctive terroir and the producer’s unwavering commitment to excellence. |

Wine Advocate (88)The 2009 Brunello di Montalcino Helichrysum redeems some of the shortcomings of San Polino’s base 2009 Brunello. Although the wine feels sticky and chewy in the mouth with an evidently mature quality of fruit, Helichrysum is characteristic of a hot Brunello vintage. You’ll recognize tones of jammy fruit, cherry cough drop and sweet maple syrup. Drink: 2016-2020. |

Wine Advocate (93)From a special 7.5 acre parcel culled from the Bienfaisance vineyard, this 1,000-case cuvee is dominated by its Merlot component (the blend also includes some Cabernet Franc). As are most of St.-Emilion’s garigiste wines, it is given a Burgundian-like treatment of pre-fermentation cold maceration, malolactic in barrel, aging on its lees, and little clarification, all designed to accentuate the terroir, and enhance the wine’s texture and perfume. The stunningly perfumed 2005 offers up notions of toast, black cherry jam, blackberries, espresso roast, white chocolate, and juicy meat. It is full-bodied as well as opulent for the vintage, with a gorgeous texture, and a long, 35+ second finish. Consume it over the next 15 or more years. |

Sandhi Romance Pinot Noir 2021 is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship from the esteemed Sandhi Wines, nestled in the pristine terroirs of South Africa's Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Carefully selected Pinot Noir grapes, harvested at optimal ripeness, undergo a gentle cold fermentation in open-top stainless steel tanks to preserve their delicate aromatics and vibrant fruit character. Maturation ensues in French oak barrels, where subtle toasts impart complexity without overshadowing the varietal's elegance. The 2021 vintage displays a vibrant ruby hue, unveiling layers of red cherries, raspberries, and a hint of earthy undertones, complemented by nuances of spice and floral notes. On the palate, it offers a silky texture with balanced acidity and refined tannins, culminating in a lingering, harmonious finish with traces of mocha and forest floor. Sandhi's commitment to sustainable viticulture and artisanal winemaking techniques is evident in every sip, making the Romance Pinot Noir 2021 a distinguished selection for connoisseurs seeking both character and finesse. |

Vinous (93)Just bottled, the 2016 Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills) is positively stellar. Powerful and deep in the glass, with unusual depth, the 2016 has so much to offer. There is a level of sheer richness I have never seen in this bottling before. Blue and purplish berry fruit, lavender and spice flavors are all amped up. This is a very serious wine at the appellation level. Then again, the core of this wine is now composed of vineyards that belong to Domaine de la Côte. If there is one wine that over delivers big time in 2016, Sandhi's Santa Rita Hills Pinot is it. Don't miss it. |
