OMG! this is the Sanford & Benedict Signature Series bottling from Sanford. Richard Sanford I believe initiated a project whereby the six most highly-regarded winemakers in the area would each take a sampling of the Sanford & Benedict grapes in 1991 and make their own bottling and then those six people would gather together and blend to create the "signature" bottling which they felt would represent the best that that long time vineyardhad to offer. I have had this wine several times early after release with Richard Sanford in attendance at an event on my patio in Alta Dena and several times since and virtually none of the bottlings had ever overwhelmed me . . but this bottling at this time is delicious and evolved and balanced and and and and . . . way beyond my expectations. if you have this wine in your Cellar open a bottle now and reconfirm why you bought it in the first place . . Good s*** Maynard'! 😀 — 7 years ago
Recommended by someone I decided to trust - a little scary - so this is a Weird blog - treated like a pop and pour - is starting to get really good - never heard of wine or this winery and this wine is listed as made in CA and AZ but the bottle says New Mexico which is the weird part and the winemaker is a rockstar and the wine is evolving and believe or not I am recommending - totally recommending - derp red color - dark cherries and dark currant fruit - smell is very much a fruit bomb - finish is short but enough to please - well done Maynard James Keenan - you are a real Rick star and rock on big guy - smiling on a Wednesday night 😀😀😀😀 — 8 years ago

Don’t know how Maynard does it but this is truly impressive. Italian style field blend that is plush and plummy on the palate with a fine, powdery tannin. Elegant, fun, and absurd. — 7 years ago

So this is actually a Tempranillo and so far it is my absolute favorite from Maynard and Caduceus. Absolutely well balanced. — 7 years ago
