2012 Saxum, James Berry, Paso Robles, Magnum (1.5L)

JD98 "Absolutely brilliant, the 2012 James Berry Vineyard is just now at the early stages of maturity and reveals a healthy ruby hue as well as stunning aromatics of red and black raspberries, wildflowers, herbes de Provence, candied orange, and white pepper. Full-bodied and powerful, it's nevertheless perfectly balanced and as seamless as they come, with silky tannins and a great finish. This is heavenly juice all the way and can be drunk any time over the coming decade. The blend is 43% Grenache, 29% Mourvèdre, 18% Syrah, and 10% Counoise brought up in a mix of small barrels and concrete tanks." JD Nov 2021
