2006 Saxum James Berry Vineyard

Garnet color, medium aroma, medium body, low tannins and modest acidity, "absolutely stunning" bright big candied personality with layers of raspberry, strawberry, watermelon, cranberry jelly and subtle candied cherry all intertwined with smoke, forrest floor and dried black currant. Who says Paso won't age!!! Likely will go another 3+ years. Shared at 52 birthday party, bought on release. 99 (!)

2005 Saxum Syrah Booker Vineyard

Deep garnet, rich aroma, big body yet tannins fully integrated, medium to high acidity, with "disgusting finesse" and almond, anise, dragon fruit, raspberry, strawberry preserves and a hint of cherry cream plus leather, basil and date interludes. Who says Paso won't age!!! Likely will go another 5 years. Shared at 52 birthday party, bought on release. Very sad this is my last of the 2005s. 97

2007 Booker Vineyard The Alchemist

Deep purple, rich aroma, round and integrated minimal gripping tannins, with modest acidity, erupting with a delicious and big personality of blueberry pie, spices as well as subtleties of clove, chocolate, vanilla and clay pot. Who says Paso won't age!!! At least 3 and maybe up to 6 years left. Shared at 52 birthday party, bought on release. Easy 98 / Incredible
