Tasting Notes

The Paderewski Vineyard 2015 from Saxum Vineyards is a bold, opulent, and impeccably balanced Rhône-style blend, combining the richness of Paso Robles fruit with the precision of its limestone terroir.
It opens with striking aromas of blackberry liqueur, plum, cassis, and garrigue, accented by nuances of lavender, graphite, licorice, and crushed rock.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and layered, revealing a seamless blend of dark fruits, mocha, pepper, and mineral supported by ripe yet structured tannins.
The mouthfeel is expansive and silky, yet finely focused, leading to a long, persistent, and elegant finish that balances density with freshness.

This 2015 vintage exemplifies the power, polish, and precision that have made Saxum one of California’s most celebrated producers.

Vintage Highlights

The 2015 growing season in Paso Robles was low-yielding but exceptional, producing small, concentrated berries of intense flavor and perfect acidity.
Paderewski Vineyard’s steep limestone and shale slopes enhanced both texture and minerality, giving the wine its signature tension and depth.
Aged for about 22 months in large French oak puncheons and amphorae, this cuvée achieved remarkable harmony between fruit purity and structure.
