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 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
