2018 Saxum Vineyards James Berry Vineyard Rocket Block

Kicking off the 2018 releases, the flawless 2018 Rocket Block, predominantly Grenache with 13% Mourvèdre and 11% Syrah, ages for 29-30 months in mostly new 300-liter barrels. Comparable to top Châteauneuf du Pape or Grenache-based wines, it showcases sweet kirsch, blackberry, white pepper, garrigue, and sandalwood. Full-bodied, impeccably balanced, and weightlessly elegant, this elixir promises sensational richness and intensity, destined to shine for at least 15+ years.
