NOTES FROM JUSTIN:
I’m really excited about this version of Broken Stones. It seems
fairly typical. It is Syrah dominated, and was mainly raised in
small 225L barriques, about 75% of which were new. However,
this is the first year our new Syrah planting up in the Santa
Lucia Mountains made its way into the blend. (What we are now
calling Old Creek Vineyard, formerly referred to as Cayucos
Ridge.). The new Syrah only makes up around 11%, but it
definitely brings a bit of black pepper spice to the game. The
rest is the usual sources, with James Berry Vineyard making up
the bulk, a sprinkling of G2, Heart Stone, and a splash of Dusi.
It’s a show stopper. Rich in texture, aromas of black fruits and
spices, and our characteristic brightness that is always there
thanks to our limestone soils. Oh yeah, and the finish goes on
and on and on and on……. This wine is a pleaser.

Lots of red and blue fruits as well as peppery notes emerge from the 2021 James Berry Vineyard, a medium to full-bodied, pure, incredibly elegant expression of this vineyard. I love its fruit, balance, and length, and it shows the slightly fresher style of the vintage while still bringing terrific depth and richness. It's unquestionably a gorgeous wine in the making, but it’s going to warrant 2-4 years of bottle age.
