In summer, I wear the SmartWool Phd Running Ultra Light Micro (phew, a long name!) http://www.smartwool.com/mens/socks-2/phd-run-ultra-light-micro.html
They wick very well, and don't get stinky. Only 54% wool, though. It sounds like you may have higher standards than that. :) I bought several pair a couple years ago, and they had that nice cushioned roll along the back of the sock, which helped keep the heel from pulling down. I bought a couple more (that were the "outdoor" model) that lacked this cushioned roll; consequently, the heels pull down sometimes in casual shoes. Smartwool makes various lengths and various weight of wool. In the winter, I wear their medium weight hiker crew socks. 72% Wool, and noticeably warmer.
