Drinking Wine at the Fireside

Had an long time friend over and decided it was time to treat ourselves. 2006 Saxum, James Berry Vineyard. Paso Robles, CA (45% Syrah, 38% Grenache, 17% Mourvedre) Imagine a stream of velvet fruit that just keeps getting more interesting and delicious. Decanted 2 hours and in the glass over an hours time, it continued to develop new fruit characters. Incredibly balanced to where the 16.6% alcohol simply carried it with no trace of over exertion. Truly delightful. Gone too soon. Tempted to open the one other bottle I had, but better to have a little patience. The reward will be worth it. Thanks Justin.
