Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose with black fruits, cedar, spices and chocolates.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with black plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, vanilla, chocolates, tobacco and herbs.
Spicy and tangy on the finish with soft tannins.
This 11 year old GSM blend from Paso Robles is complex and tasty.
Needed a couple of hours to open up properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
This Single Vineyard is rich and extracted. Fruit forward with a nice mouthfeel. Delicious.
Robert Parker 97 points.
I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses. Paired beautifully with the Prosciutto.
A blend of 51% Syrah, 31% Grenache and 18% Mourvedre.
15.2% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$200.

Another winner from Justin Smith at Saxum, this version of this cuvee is 51% syrah, 31% grenache, and 18% mourvedre, but from the palate I’d guess majority grenache, the fruit is so intense (even at 7 years). Awesome.

Rich scarlet; candied, sweet fruit dominates the nose; this is quite bright and red-fruited with an almost liqueur-like aspect. The grenache is showing its face.

Monster wine. This region has buoyancy and that makes wine with 15 plus percent alcohol taste remarkably light and balanced. Justin is awesome. This wine was a very explosion of fruit and was really impressive'm
