SAXUM VINEYARDS BOOKER VINEYARD RED 2010 (1)Paso Robles.
Showing real class, as well as first-rate freshness, superb depth and concentration, and masses of tannin, this blockbuster Syrah needs a solid 3-4 years of bottle age to flesh out, and will keep for 15-20 years or more. 98 WA

Paso Robles.
Classic Booker with its serious levels of dark fruit, chocolate, earth and mineral, the 2011 Syrah Booker Vineyard (67% Syrah, 33% Mourvedre) builds incrementally on the palate and delivers full-bodied richness and depth without ever seeming heavy or cumbersome. Drink 2016-2026. (97-99) WA
SAXUM VINEYARDS BOOKER VINEYARD RED 2012 (1)
Paso Robles.
Big, full-bodied, thick and chewy, it has gorgeous purity and sweetness of fruit. It shows surprising finesse and elegance with time in the glass, but make no mistake, it's a big, rich and decadent beauty that will benefit from short-term cellaring and age for 15+ years. 98 WA
SAXUM VINEYARDS HEART STONE VINEYARD 2010 (1)
Paso Robles.
Gorgeous on the palate as well, with a deft, elegant texture, building richness, and layers of chewy tannin, this beauty is reasonably approachable now, yet will be even better in 2-3 years. It will drink well for 12-15 years. 94 WS 95 WA
SAXUM VINEYARDS HEART STONE VINEYARD 2011 (1)
Paso Robles.
Showing beautifully from barrel, it didn’t disappoint from bottle and has a perfumed, elegant feel to its purple fruits, lavender, violets, white pepper and underbrush-like aromas and flavors. The whole cluster inclusion shows here, yet it has fantastic purity, fine tannin and integrated acidity. Give it another year in the cellar and enjoy bottles through 2025. 95 WA
