98 Points - limited                           97 Points Robert Parker: "Made from 33% Grenache, 32% Mourvèdre, 24% Syrah and 11% Counoise, the 2015 James Berry Vineyard Proprietary Red reveals a deep garnet-purple color and expressive nose of black currants, black cherries and mulberries with hints of baking spices, chocolate box, violets and Sichuan pepper. The palate is surprisingly elegant, with great intensity of flavors framed by soft, sensuous tannins and a lively line carrying the fruit and spices to a long, long finish... ...Needing no introduction for anyone that’s followed the Wine Advocate or the wine scene in Paso Robles for any time in the past decade, Heather and Justin Smith’s Saxum Vineyards continues to fashion sensational, world-class wines from a number of top sites on the west side of Paso Robles."

Deep garnet red; the nose took me to the southern Rhone with a direct memory that has now escaped; dense, staining fruit on the palate with a black-currant pastille aspect and licorice, but this wine is still young. Give it time.

Drinking really nicely for being so young. Delicious after an hour open
