| Rating | 95 RP - The spectacular 2001 Syrah James Berry Vineyard Bone Rock is a 300- case blend of 92% Syrah 5% Mourvedre and 3% Grenache aged 21 months in both French and Hungarian oak. Racked once and bottled unfined and unfiltered it takes its name from fossilized whale bones that were found imbedded in the vineyard's steep rocky terraces. It boasts great power and richness but is incredibly well balanced. Its dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by a huge perfume of blackberry liqueur camphor licorice earth and roasting meat juices. The fabulous complex aromatics are followed by a full-bodied Syrah with great purity impeccable balance and world-class richness complexity and stature. This amazing effort can be drunk now or cellared for a decade. This is the best recent trilogy I've experienced since Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings! An emerging superstar Justin Smith who "focuses exclusively on Syrah from the windswept hills of west Paso Robles" is undoubtedly a talented winemaker. These wines' richness texture and compelling aromatics have more in common with his southern neighbor Sine Qua Non than just about anything produced in the Paso Robles area. These wines rock ... and that's putting it mildly! RP |
