Saxum Booker Vineyard 2016

HED38394 75cl 15.6%
Saxum Vineyards focus on small scale production of Grenache, Syrah and Mataro based blends from the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles. The 2016 Booker Vineyard is made up of 73% Syrah and 27% Mataro. In the words of winemaker, Justin Smith, "Great richness and texture like this wine always has in spades. We aged a chunk in concrete amphora, adding some great tension and lift to this bruiser. Black fruits, violets, crushed rocks, and maybe a little dried cranberry."

Saxum

Founded in 2002, Saxum Vineyards has swiftly risen to become one of California's most respected producers of Grenache, Syrah and Mataro-based wines. Justin and Heather Smith started the winery vinifying fruit from a vineyard planted by Justin's father - James Berry Smith.

The focus is on Rhône Valley inspired blends from the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles. In the vineyard, the team aim for low yields and optimum ripeness while the cellar team exercise minimal intervention to preserve the purity of the fruit. Saxum use no chemical fertilisers, herbicides or pesticides and production is kept at around 8,000 cases per year across ten different wines. The flagship wine is the James Berry Vineyard Syrah, which regularly collects perfect scores from critics. These are big, bold, concentrated wines - inky and full with ripe fruit flavours overflowing from the glass.
