32 Month Barrel Age James Berry Vineyard Grenache Blend 2007

2007 Saxum James Berry Vineyard Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah blend. 15.8% alcohol. Dark as midnight with a ruby rim. The nose positively leaps from the glass with anise, violets, creme de cassis, crushed berries and a hint of spearmint. On the palate, sweet, candied raspberry syrup with notes of cedar, cinnamon, baking spices, vanilla and a hint of black olives. Pure and intense with great concentration and wonderful structure. 2 minute finish and then some. The Mourvèdre component raises this wine to another level for me, and highlights the talent of @Justin Smith as a master blender. 99 points with the only impediment to perfection being that '06 SQN "A Shot In The Dark" from last week which still haunts my dreams. — 9 years ago

@Norman Gennaro had a bottle a week ago and a year ago with no noticeable change, this thing is a palate killer, I would say easily another 15 years with a double 3 hour decant.....

Thanks @David From The 504 sounds like I need to do a re-sort of the storage bin :( Some day there will be a storage place that has entry from both the front and back like the milk loading at a supermarket. Think of me if you make millions on it.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Wonderful wine. Comparable to Von Strasser Cab. Give it time to open up and get rid of the sharp, peppery edges & it will be smooth & round, with a dry finish. — 10 years ago
