2002 Saxum Bone Rock Vineyard Syrah Magnum - 95 pts!
Saxum Vineyards is focused on producing Grenache, Syrah, and Mataro based blends from the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles. We let our rocky calcareous soils, steep hillsides, sunny days, and cooling ocean breezes speak through our wines by keeping our yields low, picking the fruit at the peak of ripeness, and using a minimalist approach in the cellar. We respect our land and farm everything sustainably without chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides. Because our vine’s roots penetrate deep through the fissures in the calcareous soil irrigation is rarely needed. Production is kept at 5000 – 6000 cases a year divided between nine different cuvees, Broken Stones, James Berry Vineyard, G2 Vineyard, Bone Rock, Rocket Block, Booker Vineyard, Paderewski Vineyard, Heart Stone Vineyard, and Terry Hoage Vineyard.

Rating RP95 - The 2002 Syrah James Berry Vineyard Bone Rock, which had been bottled several weeks before my tasting, was not displaying any ill effects from its recent bottling. More primordial (of course, it's a year younger), it exhibits a saturated plum/purple color along with a spectacular nose of blackberries, licorice, kirsch, and flinty/crushed stones. Full-bodied, with a spectacular texture as well as a massive finish, it possesses a slightly later harvest sur-maturite character than its siblings. A blend of 88% Syrah and 12% Grenache, it spent 18 months in French oak, was never racked, and was bottled unfined and unfiltered. This is the best recent trilogy ever experienced since Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings! RP
