Great wine! Tons of spice and pepper, there’s a meaty flavor, tart berries, great finish that brings you back for more. — 3 years ago

Ugh YES! This is so good! This is the chiller summer tee of my dreams! Berries! But light, with minerality! — 5 years ago

2007 Saxum James Berry Vineyard Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah blend. 15.8% alcohol. Dark as midnight with a ruby rim. The nose positively leaps from the glass with anise, violets, creme de cassis, crushed berries and a hint of spearmint. On the palate, sweet, candied raspberry syrup with notes of cedar, cinnamon, baking spices, vanilla and a hint of black olives. Pure and intense with great concentration and wonderful structure. 2 minute finish and then some. The Mourvèdre component raises this wine to another level for me, and highlights the talent of @Justin Smith as a master blender. 99 points with the only impediment to perfection being that '06 SQN "A Shot In The Dark" from last week which still haunts my dreams. — 8 years ago

A tasting note for Camins 2 Dream Syrah from John Sebastiano Vineyard. Because I couldn’t find where else to log it. Limestone soil. Kirsch. 30% whole cluster. Juicy red cherry. Strawberry cotton candy. Vibrant color. Lifted acid tone. Tingly on the palate. — 2 years ago

Fantastic! Great minerality, acidity, structure and balance from a region that typically grows chard. Really impressive results from this small producer! — 4 years ago

Dreams are best when they come true. Needed 2+ hours of decanting and then provided a beautiful balance of flowers and cherry on the nose and enough tannins to give it strength. There is a reason for its reputation. If anything would have been better in 5+ years at least. A joy. — 5 years ago

Fantastic terroir driven wine! Definitely a cool climate Syrah but has all of the Syrah elements, just smoothed out and refined! — 4 years ago

Bought 32 bottles total. Drank them from 2007 - 2017. Each bottle was unbelievably good each and every time, but did mellow a little in the last 2 years. I would never have guessed a grenache would have tasted this bold and complex. Predominantly dark fruit, dark chocolate, and then some back end spice which I can only describe as what would happen if you rubbed pepper corns (a lot) some clove (not much) into saddle leather that had been stored once in a barn where tobacco had been smoked. This is one of those wines all my friends and I still mention at the top of “best wines ever” lists. It is the wine one dreams of after it’s all gone. — 5 years ago
