2012 Saxum James Berry Vineyard Proprietary Red Paso Robles

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.... The blend is 43% Grenache, 29% Mourvèdre, 18% Syrah, and 10% Counoise brought up in a mix of small barrels and concrete tanks. Review Date: November 2021
