Here are two great bottles of Central Coast Syrah blends: a 2006 Saxum Broken Stones ($140 value) and a 2007 Saxum James Berry Vineyard ($500 value)! Tasting notes: The 2006 Broken Stones (63% Syrah, 24% Grenache, and 13% Mourvdre) blew me away. An inky/purple color and a dazzling, explosive bouquet of black raspberries, camphor, cassis, forest floor, and spring flowers are followed by a rich, elegant wine offering laser-like precision as well as a striking minerality. It is a powerful yet graceful effort that should drink well for 10-12+ years. For the 2007 James Berry: An amazing wine, dense, rich and layered, offering a mix of power and finesse, with concentrated dark berry fruit, mineral, sage, herb and cedar notes that are pure, intense, focused and persistent. Grenache, Mourvdre and Syrah.
