Honestly no tasting note here, because I tasted it in August, but I only take pictures of wines I like and, come on! It's #grenache! Seriously though, this is a #blancdenoirs it's a red Grenache pressed and then malo and lees and the whole nine yards. Chill it and enjoy. — 10 years ago

Oh! Now why this isn’t Dragon’s Milk, it’s definitely her younger more flirty sister. It’s rich with notes of coffee and chocolate. Smooth but not heavy. A little on the bitter side which is cool because I take my coffee without sugar. A ball of fun on the tongue. 5.5% ABV but it make up for this with flavor. #badandboozypod #beergasm #craftbeer #reviews — 8 years ago

2008 Vosne-Romanee. This wine was pretty but not gorgeous. First sip was still all primary fruit but the mid palate lacked depth and the acidity was out of balance. The wine comes from Vosne not 200 yards from DRC, but as we know, in Burgundy terroir is everything. I'd have this again but I wouldn't search for it. — 9 years ago

Being that its rivalry week in College Football, I would describe this wine like a Middle Linebacker...It gives 2 yards of lead way off the onset then finishes strong. Recommended... at sub $40 — 9 years ago

Needs a good hour to open up, making it difficult for restaurant purchases. Super great once it is open, however.
Earth, wood (not cedar), licorice, and the slightest tobacco (think four yards away from a humidor) — 10 years ago

Id classify this as a medium body Chardonnay. Has a light citric finish, and holds well with sushi and ceviche. A good wine, but prefer the likes of Jordan 9 yards or Van Der Heyden. — 10 years ago

Blood and iron on the nose. Lots of blood, enough to make a vampire drool from 20 yards. Eventually the plasma fades and is replaced by briary black fruit and licorice. Notes of forest floor, fig paste, olive tapenade, smoky charcoal and acidic finish. — 10 years ago

A night of Saxum and Booker comparisons. On the nose, bright, ripe; dark cherries, cherries, strawberries, cranberries, pomegranate, vanilla, cinnamon, red vines, crushed volcanic minerals, loamy top soil, dark Burgundian earthiness with dark red florals. The body is M with well resolved tannins. The fruits are bright; dark cherries, cherries, strawberries, cranberries & pomegranate. Vanilla, cinnamon, steeped fruit tea, red vines, cherry cola, crumbled, grey volcanic minerals, limestone chalkiness, stem inclusion, red roses, violets, cherry lifesavers, softened leather, bright red florals, brilliant fresh acidity and a long, lush, round, elegant and well polished finish. This will be even better in 2-3 years. Photos of; the James Berry Vineyard, barrel room, rock shale and Justin barrel tasting. Producer notes and history...Justin's father James was a veterinarian in a fast-growing suburb of San Diego who wanted to live in the countryside. He bought the James Berry Vineyard property when Smith was 10 years old and planted Chardonnay, because that's what he liked to drink. He sold the grapes to Fetzer and argued continually with Bobby Fetzer who wanted them farmed organically. Justin Smith does farm organically, but is not certified because he says, "my dad would keel over." James Smith still lives on the property, a few hundred yards away, and still farms a section of the vineyard for his own pleasure. But he has given over the majority of it to Justin, although that didn't happen for years. It was in the late 1980s, John Alban (Alban Vineyards) that convinced James Smith that the area in western Paso Robles was better for Rhône varieties than Chardonnay. Slowly over time, the Smiths pulled out Chardonnay and replanted to Mourvèdre, Viognier and Syrah. Justin did much of the early work. When he graduated from Cal Poly, he came back to manage the vineyard. As payment, his father gave him one block of Syrah. Justin and his college roommate Matt Trevisan started Linne Calodo winery with the fruit, making 300 cases in their first vintage. They later parted ways and Smith formed Saxum. In 2003, he built the garage winery under his house. By 2004 it was the most crowded building in the county. Villa Creek also made its wine there. At the time, they were all making about 500 cases of wine. Saxum is now well out of the garage and makes around 4500 cases give or take what conditions allow. Only a few hundred cases are not sold to their members and into marketplace, mostly in restaurants in California, New York and Chicago. Saxum's largest production wine is Broken Stones, a multi-vineyard blend that's heavily weighted towards Syrah and is a little more mineral driven. There most famous wine is the one Smith has been farming the longest, the James Berry Vineyard red blend. The stylist labels for Saxum's single vineyard wines are made by local artist Joe Kalionzes. Some change from time to time., but the Paderewski Vineyard, Joe scratched an eagle onto a rock that came from the vineyard and made a block print from it. For the Terry Hoage single vineyard wine, he painted a label and scratched some of the paint away to create a dragonfly because Terry Hoage has a big pond in his vineyard with lots of dragonflies. — 9 years ago

A splendid ambassador of the left bank Bordeaux reds: Dark red, good body, earth and berry aromas already mature tannins , perhaps in 5-10 yards this would had been a gem! U am not too sad I did the "sacrifice" — 10 years ago
