2013 Vintage. Vicinage Series. 15.8% Alcohol. 50/50 blend of Grenache and Syrah. Grenache gives it a lighter style. Loads of fruit. Good to go.

This is actually 2012 Vintage, Vicinage series, James Berry Vineyard, 68% Grenache with 32% Syrah. 15.5% Alcohol. Big Grenache to follow the remaining half a bottle of 2010 Akasha with bruschetta. Also PNP and needs more cellaring or time in the decanter. Not as huge as the Akasha, but a lovely wine nonetheless.

I think this needed more time on its side. Pretty tight.

There's this spine of chalky minerality in all the JB vineyard wines that's so beautiful. To me that's what makes that vineyard so special.
