Saxum Vineyards
James Berry Vineyard Red Rhône Blend
Freaking fabulous! A little disjointed at first but with air it turned into something complex and remarkable. A little hot but that’s to be expected. Really well balanced, super silky fine grained tannins and just awesome texture overall

Aug 20th, 2023Reminds me of the 06 Reva-not as much heft yet layers upon layers. Has another 10 years in it.

Dec 17th, 2017This wine is so different compared to its youth. I remember a lush, jammy, sexy wine full of cassis, dark fruit and vanilla. Now it carries some nuance. Sous bois on the nose with cedar, tobacco, leather and dried cherry. I prefer the young and slutty version but this is really delightful nonetheless. Would be interested to revisit in another 10 years

Sep 22nd, 2017Uber complex aromas soar from the glass. Black/blue fruits, tobacco, spice, violet, earth. This complexity carries over like a palate coating blanket tucked in with spice and silky tannin. Just a youngster but rewarding nonetheless. Looking forward to seeing how these mature.

Jul 16th, 2017Great nose of crushed red berries and violets with cherries, a medley of berries, glycerine, and a hint of meat drippings on the palate. Finish is long and full of minerality. Awesome wine and drinks great right now
