It is known for its portfolio of red blends produced from the key Rhône varieties: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.The estate was planted at the end of the 1980s with a majority of vines now over 40 years of age. Located a mere 10 miles (16km) from the coast, unearthed fossilized whale bones have been discovered here requiring a jack hammer to plant the vines. Planted throughout an undulating landscape the vineyards are located on slopes at an altitude of approximately 1200 feet (365 meters).Saxum's portfolio now features a collection of proprietary cuvées. The Rhône varieties reign supreme, but there are small plantings of other grapes like Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, which are used in small amounts. Strict yields inform the limited production of roughly 5500 cases annually. \u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2022-12-14T18:16:54-05:00","created_at":"2022-12-14T14:03:04-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","MK1412","Other_Wine","Producer_Saxum","Region_California","Source_Continental1222","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Syrah"],"price":39999,"price_min":39999,"price_max":39999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42624653754506,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2012 | Saxum | Syrah Booker Vineyard Paso Robles","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":39999,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/15_adc4fe5e-8e6d-4a64-b6c8-eea2bf72ab02.jpg?v=1671044777"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/15_adc4fe5e-8e6d-4a64-b6c8-eea2bf72ab02.jpg?v=1671044777","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2012 | Saxum | Syrah Booker Vineyard Paso Robles at CaskCartel.com","id":23766948806794,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.417,"height":540,"width":225,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/15_adc4fe5e-8e6d-4a64-b6c8-eea2bf72ab02.jpg?v=1671044777"},"aspect_ratio":0.417,"height":540,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/15_adc4fe5e-8e6d-4a64-b6c8-eea2bf72ab02.jpg?v=1671044777","width":225}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2012 | Saxum | Syrah Booker Vineyard Paso Robles\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA candidate for the wine of the vintage, the 2012 Booker Vineyard is a blend of 73% Syrah and 27% Mourvedre that was aged 20-26 months in 60% new French oak.
