2013 Saxum Syrah Booker Vineyard, USA, California, Paso Robles, Willow Creek, Wine Review
This is a blend of 67% Syrah and 33% Mourvedre from Paso Robles. Of course, Booker makes its own wines but they also sell some fruit to Saxum. Inky purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is nice but there is some volatile acidity. Whether it is too much is a matter of personal taste. Very earthy with black raspberries, roasted meats and char. Full bodied. Great, rich texture. On the palate, black raspberries, black pepper, some earthiness and char. Long finish. This is drinking well right now. Well stored bottles should have another decade or so. It drinks great on its own
