Killer notes of black raspberries, blueberries, sappy spring flowers, pepper, violets, and herbes de Provence-like nuances all emerge from the 2022 James Berry Vineyard, a medium to full-bodied, round, supple, layered beauty based on 48% Grenache, 34% Mataro, 8% Syrah, 8% Counoise, and 2% Carignan raised in 48% new barrels. It has ripe tannins, a terrific sense of freshness, and a great finish. A blend of 48% Grenache, 34% Mourvdre, and the rest Syrah, Counoise, and Carignan, it’s another sensational wine from the genius of Justin Smith. It needs 2-3 years of bottle age and will age like a great Chteauneuf du Pape over the following 15+ years.
