Tasting Notes
The Broken Stones 2012 from Saxum Vineyards is a sumptuous and perfectly balanced Rhône-style blend, showcasing the lush character and harmony of the 2012 Paso Robles vintage.
It opens with intense aromas of blackberry, cassis, kirsch, and crushed rock, complemented by hints of violet, licorice, pepper, and dark chocolate.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, yet incredibly seamless and polished. Layers of ripe black and blue fruits, mocha, and mineral tones unfold gracefully, supported by fine tannins and lively acidity.
The finish is long, vibrant, and complex, revealing the limestone purity and elegance that define Saxum’s style.
This vintage combines richness, texture, and freshness in perfect proportion — a hallmark expression of the estate’s mastery of Rhône varietals.
