Winemaker Notes
Saxum thinks this is one of the, if not THE best vintage they have ever had. There are some vintages that are more of this or more ofthat, but the '13s have a bit of everything. Concentration, but notsuper rich (hello '14s!), soft tannins but still some grip, greatfresh acids but nothing searing or flabby, depth, depth, andmore depth, they are as a whole wines that continue to evolve inthe glass for days, every sip revealing something new, something that was hidden the previous sip. They will definitely reward a few years of cellaring but will be very enjoyable in the short term.
Blend: 57% Syrah, 29% Grenache, 14% Mourvedre

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Lastly, the 2013 Terry Hoage Vineyard is a forward, exotic effort that's made from 57% Syrah, 29% Grenache and 14% Mourvedre. It is one of the more fresh and lively wines in the lineup, with notes of passion fruits, jolly rancher, plums, spice and green herbs (Justin always finds a touch of watermelon rind from this site). This beauty is full-bodied, silky and beautifully textured on the palate, with impeccable balance and a great finish. Drink this puppy anytime over the coming decade or so.

Wine Spectator
Intensely structured yet balanced and richly textured. Floral blueberry and violet aromas are paired with complex, exuberant flavors of boysenberry, raspberry, cracked pepper and loamy mineral. Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2026.
