Saxum Vineyards Red Blend Bone Rock James Berry Vineyard Willow Creek District 2021

Reviews

98 -Jeb Dunnuck -

The 2021 Bone Rock checks in as 82% Syrah, 11% Grenache, 5% Petite Sirah, and the balance Roussanne that spent 32 months in 84% new French oak. It's another thrilling 2021 that has everything you could want from a glass of wine. Ripe blackberries, cassis, graphite, ground pepper, leather, and savory flower notes all contribute to a captivating, layered bouquet, and this beauty is full-bodied, with a deep, unctuous mid-palate, ripe tannins, and a blockbuster finish. Give it a few years and enjoy over the following 15+.

Dark and brooding in the glass, the 2021 Bone Rock tempts the imagination with a beguiling blend of crushed ashen stones, black raspberries and hints of olive and exotic spice. This is velvety in texture yet energetic, with crisp red and black fruits that take on a crunchy sensation. Tactile minerals and rosy inner florals emerge toward the close. Tannic and impossibly long, the 2021 leaves the mouth watering for more while but also begging for relief from its stern structure. There's epic potential here. The 2021 was raised in 84% new French oak.

98 -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -

Polished but burly, flashy but nuanced, the 2021 Bone Rock is spectacular from the first pour, displaying incredibly dense, layered black fruit, dried herbs and charred meat aromas with ever-increasing intensity. The palate is saturated and staining but admirably walks the tightrope of balance despite its immense frame. The finish is absolutely explosive, yet it keeps an amazing amount of power in reserve, which slowly unfolds and swells with impressive length, tenacity and focus. A stunning highlight within an impressive lineup, this will be a fascinating wine to watch unfold over the next decade and beyond. It's a blend of 82% Syrah, 11% Grenache, 5% Petite Sirah and 2% Roussanne that aged 32 months in 84% new 225-liter barrels.

96 -Wine Spectator -

This evokes ripe figs roasting on a cast iron skillet, caramelizing with wildflower honey, while layers of dried violet, blackberry preserves and licorice add to the complex nature of this velvety yet structured red. Still, there’s good energy at the core, which enlivens the finish, gathering the central flavors and carrying them to the long finish around big, ripe tannins. Syrah, Grenache, Petite Sirah and Roussanne. Drink now through 2040. 404 cases made.
