Tasting Notes

The Broken Stones 2010 from Saxum Vineyards is a monumental Rhône-style blend, delivering remarkable concentration, precision, and energy.
It opens with explosive aromas of blackberry liqueur, blueberry, kirsch, licorice, and crushed rock, accented by hints of smoked herbs, graphite, and dark chocolate.

On the palate, it is full-bodied, dense, and layered, with extraordinary purity and balance. Flavors of black cherry, plum, espresso, and mineral unfold gracefully, framed by ripe, fine-grained tannins and lively acidity.
The finish is long, powerful, and impeccably focused, with a stony minerality and freshness that lift the wine’s richness.

This 2010 vintage embodies everything that defines Saxum — intensity, precision, and elegance in perfect harmony.
