NOTES FROM JUSTIN:
The 2009 wines, are quite powerful. There are some very
substantial tannins on these wines, they are muscular! I feel that
these late releases of the 2009's are going to benefit from a few
years of cellar age, even more so than any wines we have ever
made, so be patient with them. Enjoy some now, but be sure to
stash some in your cellar so you can see how they evolve after
a few years. You will be well rewarded for waiting.
bottling, which is sourced from all of the vineyards in the Saxum
lineup. My tasting ended with three barrel samples of the 2010s,
another cold, late harvest. These aren't finished wines, but the
quality of what I tasted was extraordinary. The first sample was
a late-harvested Syrah from Bone Rock (60% whole clusters)
co-fermented with 10% Roussanne that was mind-blowing. This
may end up being bottled on its own. The second sample was
100% Grenache from concrete. It was full of character and
dazzling. The last barrel sample was James Berry Mourvedre
(from a hilltop parcel) co-fermented with a little bit of Syrah. It,
too, was, full of character. If these 2010s are any indication,
Justin and Heather Smith have another fabulous vintage on
their hands. I will stop writing before I fill up an entire issue of
The Wine Advocate, suffice it to say readers should do
everything they can to taste these majestic wines.
REVIEWS:
Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate #196, Aug 2011
Rating: 94
Drink: 2012-2021
The 2009 Bone Rock is a round, enticing red laced with sweet,
succulent dark cherries, plums, flowers and spices. It shows
remarkable intensity and fabulous balance. Bone Rock is made
from the first blocks planted in the James Berry vineyard and is
predominantly Syrah, while the James Berry Vineyard (the wine)
is Grenache focused. In 2009 the blend was 57% Syrah, 31%
Mourvedre and 12% Grenache. The Syrah component was
vinified with 100% stems and saw a maceration lasting 50 days.
The wine was aged in 60% new oak. Smith bottled the 2009 in
May 2011, earlier than the norm (around 30 months), as he
wanted to preserve the freshness he had in the tannins.
Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021.
