Tasting Notes

The Heart Stone Vineyard 2021 from Saxum Vineyards is a refined and expressive Rhône-style blend, perfectly balancing intensity and finesse.
It opens with captivating aromas of blackberry, blueberry, violet, lavender, and crushed rock, layered with subtle notes of licorice, smoked herbs, and spice.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied and beautifully textured, offering layers of ripe black fruits, graphite, pepper, and mineral supported by fine, polished tannins.
The wine maintains remarkable freshness and energy, finishing long, pure, and elegant, with lingering notes of stone and dark fruit.

This 2021 vintage reflects the precision and restraint of the estate — a poised, mineral-driven expression of Paso Robles limestone terroir.

Vintage Highlights

The 2021 growing season in Paso Robles was temperate and consistent, allowing for balanced ripening and excellent flavor concentration.
Heart Stone Vineyard, located in the Willow Creek District, is known for its rocky calcareous soils, which contribute structure and aromatic lift.
The wine was aged for around 20 months in French oak puncheons and amphorae, ensuring purity and texture without overt oak influence.
