Feb. 27, 2013 SAXUM James Berry Vineyard Paso Robles 2010 (94 points, $89)

The 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. Very pure and rambunctious, and should only get better with time. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Best from 2014 through 2026. 1,100 cases made. —James Laube
