About Saxum Vineyards
Saxum Vineyards is the most consistently critically-perfect and most cult-allocation-impossible Paso Robles Rhône micro-production. Justin Smith — whose Willow Creek District calcareous limestone James Berry Vineyard Paso Robles Rhône program represents the most personally Latin-rock-limestone-saxum-geology-naming and most Willow-Creek-calcareous-Rhône-quality-specifically-committed micro-production available — named his estate for the Latin word 'saxum' (meaning 'rock' or 'stone,' the most personally Latin-geology-limestone-specifically-wine-estate-naming approach available) to declare the most personally calcareous-limestone-rock-geology-tribute and most individually Willow-Creek-District-calcareous-Rhône-quality-committed wine program.
Wine Advocate named Saxum Vineyards' 2007 James Berry Vineyard Paso Robles Wine of the Year — the most dramatic and most personally Justin-Smith-Rhône-quality-confirming single recognition available in American wine criticism, establishing Saxum as California's most cult-allocation-impossible and most critically-perfect Rhône micro-production alongside Sine Qua Non and other California Rhône cult programs.
Wine Advocate has consistently scored Saxum's James Berry Vineyard, Broken Stones, and Rocket Block at 95–100 points across multiple vintages, confirming that the most personally Latin-rock-limestone-saxum-geology-naming and most Willow-Creek-calcareous-Rhône-quality-specifically-committed Paso Robles micro-production produces Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre of the most consistently critical perfection and most cult-allocation-impossibly-coveted character available from any Paso Robles appointment.
