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. — 8 years ago

Best California Sauv Blanc I've had. A bit expensive at approx $32 per bottle, but worth it for a special occasion! — 9 years ago

Okay my friends # 200 is a hit! This is Blackbird Vineyards Arise 2012 blend of merlot 58%, cab franc 32%, cab sav 10%. The color is almost opaque, but not quite there. There is the initial bouquet of fresh brownies baking in the oven . The initial palate is blackberry, raspberry, fig, and chocolate. There is a small amount of leather and oak present. The finish is dry and lip smacking good. Where is my water? Buy this one folks!!!! You wont be disappointed !!!!! — 8 years ago

Funk on the nose and some slight bricking in the glass gives way to a lot of depth and a core of sweet red fruits. A really impressive 32 year old wine. — 8 years ago

Disgorged 12/2015.

Probably a bit of palate inconsistency on my part but I slightly prefer this over my previous stash (disgorged 9/2014).
At $32 this is HIGHLY RECOMMENDABLE! — 8 years ago

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. — 9 years ago

The 2012 Provenance cabernet Rutherford is a very good wine with a nice nose, medium to full body and excellent taste. Very drinkable now. Much better than the 2011. Excellent buy if you can get it between 28 and 32 dollars. I score it about 90 - 91. — 10 years ago
