The 2015 Saxum James Berry Vineyard is a red blend predominantly composed of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, with small percentages of Counoise and Roussanne. The James Berry Vineyard, from which the wine takes its name, is situated in the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles. This vineyard is known for its calcareous, rocky soils and cooling marine influence, which contribute to the wine`s distinct character. The 2015 vintage offers a rich nose of black raspberries, blueberries, and black cherries, interwoven with hints of crushed violets, white pepper, and gentle minerality. On the palate, this full-bodied wine presents a harmonious interplay of concentrated fruit flavours, refined tannins and lively acidity. Available here in a fabulous magnum format.
Glass-staining ruby. Heady aromas of mineral-tinged dark berry liqueur, incense and roasted coffee, with a suave floral nuance adding brightness. Smoky, appealingly sweet and focused, offering palate-staining black and blue fruit and candied licorice flavors that are braced by juicy acidity and a late flourish of five-spice powder. Closes with outstanding clarity and floral-dominated persistence, leaving suave floral pastille and spicecake notes behind, eventually. Josh Raynolds1st November 2017
