WINE DESCRIPTION

Saxum Broken Stones is a highly sought-after wine produced by Saxum Vineyards, a renowned winery located in Paso Robles, California. This wine is made from a blend of Rhône varietals grown in the Willow Creek District appellation, which is known for its unique soils and microclimate. The vineyard features steep hillsides and rocky soils, which contribute to the wine's complexity and depth of flavor. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied and rich, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earth. It is a perfect example of the high-quality wines that can be produced in the Paso Robles region.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Syrah-based blend from Paso Robles offers a complex nose of brambleberry, black cherry, and baking spice.On the palate, a core of red fruit is surrounded by notes of leather, tobacco, and a hint of smoked meat, all of which are supported by a lively acidity and velvety tannins. The long, satisfying finish suggests a wine of great potential and longevity.

ORIGINS

Winery: Saxum

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
