NOTES FROM JUSTIN:
I’m really happy with how the 2020 JBV came out (and that can be said for all of our 2020s). Do you remember that year? Lots of suck. But the wines are beautiful. And this little beauty has awesome, savory notes of earth and spices, and then tons of red and black fruit. The palate is full and lively. It just seems to dance around with oodles of supple tannins, and the finish is bright and long, making you want to take another sip…. And then another…..
Wine Spectator

A knockout wine as always, polished yet potently built, with dynamic blackberry and raspberry flavors laced with garrigue, loamy mineral, fruitcake spices and smoked meat. Builds richness toward big but polished tannins. Grenache, Mataro, Syrah, Graciano, Grenache Blanc and Counoise. Drink now through 2035. 1,440 cases made. (Tim Fish)

The 2020 James Berry Vineyard offers up a more savory, complex, full-bodied style to go with both red and black fruits, notes of peppery herbs and loamy earth, a layered, opulent mouthfeel, and quality tannins. This was a challenging vintage, but this estate did a great job, and this classic Paso red should drink nicely right out of the gate as well as keep for 10-15 years. The blend is 49% Grenache, 21% Mourvèdre, 12% Syrah, 9% Graciano, 6% Grenache Blanc, and the rest Counoise. There were 1,470 cases produced.
