Tasting Notes

The Broken Stones 2014 from Saxum Vineyards is a rich, opulent, and impeccably balanced Rhône-style blend, showing the full power and refinement of the 2014 Paso Robles vintage.
It opens with bold aromas of blackberry compote, plum, graphite, and crushed rock, accented by nuances of violet, dark chocolate, smoked herbs, and spice.

On the palate, it is full-bodied, concentrated, and seamless, with layers of ripe black fruits, mocha, and licorice wrapped in fine-grained tannins.
The mouthfeel is lush yet structured, balancing ripe intensity with vibrant energy. The finish is long, layered, and mineral-driven, leaving an impression of depth and precision.

This 2014 vintage delivers power and polish in perfect harmony — a hallmark Saxum wine that exemplifies elegance within richness.
