Saxum 2014 James Berry Bone Rock Vineyard 750ml

(made with 30 percent whole clusters) Dark purple. Vibrant and sharply focused on the highly perfumed nose, displaying an array of ripe black and blue fruit and floral aromas enlivened by a vibrant mineral quality that gains strength as the wine opens up. The mineral and floral components dominate the extremely long, incisive finish. The balance between power and finesse here is really something.

Score: 96 points -- Josh Raynolds, Vinous, Sept 2016
