Saxum Bone Rock 2021 1.5L

"The 2021 James Berry Vineyard Bone Rock is 82% Syrah, 11% Grenache, 5% Petite Sirah, and 2% Roussanne that aged for 32 months in 225-liter barrels, 84% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it charges out of the glass with bold notes of plum preserves, juicy blackberries, and Indian spices, plus hints of iron ore, dried lavender, and Sichuan pepper. The full-bodied palate delivers a firm, grainy texture, and seamless freshness to frame the taut, muscular black fruits, finishing on a lingering chalky note." - The Wine Independent, TWI99, tasted 9/2024
