Saxum 2018 Bone Rock Vineyard Red, Paso Robles PlumpJack with additional racy character provided99 Points limited 99 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2018 Bone Rock (63% Syrah, 16% Mourvdre, 12% Grenache, and the rest Graciano) is still resting in barrel, but it certainly looks to be in line, quality wise, with the other 2018s here. Concentrated, full bodied, and just a massive wine, it has beautiful darker berry fruits as well as some spice and violet notes, a backward, inward, reserved style, ripe tannins, and a great finish."
