2020 Margerum Sauvignon Blanc Sybarite Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara

Pale light straw in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of grapefruit, lemons/limes & melon with overtones of floral notes of honeysuckle, minerals, wet stones & lemongrass. Light bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, zesty, ripe fruit flavors of lemons & limes, grapefruit & tart green apple, with lemongrass, stony & minerals. Lingering crisp finish. Drinks quite well at present but may benefit from an additional year of further aging. A consistent, clean & well made zesty Sauvignon Blanc.

2010 Saxum James Berry Vineyard Paso Robles Red Rhone Blend

PnP of a bottle I brought to BLT Steak. Nice enough, but still tight after an hour decant. Needs time in bottle, and at least several hours if opening a bottle now (12/2018).

12/15/18, 8:19 AM - @markcic -- I agree completely on the need for a day-long decant. I didn't mean to denigrate the wine, as I'm only pointing out that the 2010, a vintage previously described as tight, is still tight and could probably benefit from additional time in bottle or a long decant. You've got quite a Saxum inventory; I'm also a big fan, though I've got years to go before I get an allocation!
