2022 Saxum "James Berry Vineyard" Paso Robles Rhône Blend (1.5L)

Bid on this magnum of 2022 Saxum "James Berry Vineyard" Paso Robles Rhône Blend (1.5L) (97JD, 95DC, 95RP, 95TWI, 95VN, 95WS). Jeb Dunnuck: "Killer notes of black raspberries, blueberries, sappy spring flowers, pepper, violets, and herbes de Provence-like nuances all emerge from the 2022 James Berry Vineyard, a medium to full-bodied, round, supple, layered beauty based on 48% Grenache, 34% Mataro, 8% Syrah, 8% Counoise, and 2% Carignan raised in 48% new barrels. It has ripe tannins, a terrific sense of freshness, and a great finish. A blend of 48% Grenache, 34% Mourvèdre, and the rest Syrah, Counoise, and Carignan, it's another sensational wine from the genius of Justin Smith. It needs 2-3 years of bottle age and will age like a great Châteauneuf du Pape over the following 15+ years." (08/2024)
