Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

There is great flavor and tannin development in the 2010 Heart Stone Vineyard. Saxum was able to bring in some incredibly complex but intense fruit that was a pleasure to work with in the cellar. Speaking of the cellar, in 2010 Saxum purchased a whole slew of concrete fermentors and were extremely happy with how well they turned their fruit into wine. The concrete definitely helped in softening up the prodigious tannins of 2010 and allowed the winery to keep the wines fresher and more focused. It is a lovely combination.

Professional Ratings

94 Wine Spectator
Offers a broad range of dense, earth- and mineral-laced cranberry, raspberry and wild berry, touching on berry pie and black licorice. Ends chewy. Syrah and Grenache. Drink now through 2024. 400 cases made.

Saxum Vineyards is focused on producing Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvedre based blends from the Templeton Gap of Paso Robles, California. We let our rocky calcareous soils, steep hillsides, and cooling ocean breezes speak through our wines by keeping our yields extremely low, picking fruit at the peak of ripeness, and using a minimalist approach in the cellar. Production is kept at a total of 2200-2800 cases per year divided between 6 different cuvees, Broken Stones, Heart Stone Vineyard, James Berry Vineyard, Booker Vineyards, Rocket Block and Bone Rock.
