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. The flagship wine is the James Berry vineyard red blend, made from Grenache with Mourvèdre, Syrah and Counoise. The Syrah is co-fermented with small amounts of Roussanne instead of Viognier, the white variety commonly blended with Syrah in northern Rhône appellations.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-08T11:29:56-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-18T15:14:29-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","NK1802","Other_Wine","Producer_Saxum Vineyards","Region_California","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Southern Rhone Red Blend"],"price":149899,"price_min":149899,"price_max":149899,"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":42789452578954,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2010 | Saxum Vineyards | James Berry Vineyard (Magnum)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":149899,"weight":24494,"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\/77_3409d023-3b09-46c4-a08b-c3100f812102.jpg?v=1676751290"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/77_3409d023-3b09-46c4-a08b-c3100f812102.jpg?v=1676751290","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2010 | Saxum Vineyards | James Berry Vineyard (Magnum) at CaskCartel.com","id":24252749774986,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"width":600,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/77_3409d023-3b09-46c4-a08b-c3100f812102.jpg?v=1676751290"},"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/77_3409d023-3b09-46c4-a08b-c3100f812102.jpg?v=1676751290","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2010 | Saxum Vineyards | James Berry Vineyard (Magnum)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe intense, vivid blackberry, blueberry, pepper and spice notes are tightly focused and persistent in this red, ending with a long finish and tannins that give the flavors traction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp;
