description: This new bottling from Saxum is nearly all Syrah, with a splash of Grenache. In youth, it's dark and somewhat brooding, rich in tannins. But acidity is low, and the tannins are of the ripely sweet modern kind, so the wine is immediately drinkable. Immense in blackberry, cassis, mocha and dusty Asian spices, it's gorgeously rich and decadent.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
