Broken Stones Red Rhone Blend
Black fruit, sage and bay leaf and graphite on the nose. Black and blue fruits, dusty tannins, dry crushed rock powered, sage, bay leaf, marjoram, graphite, pepper reduction, an array of soft to medium minerals and a juicy fruit finish that drys in the long finish.

Jan 23rd, 2016From a few days ago. Excellent, but definitely on a fast evolutionary slope. In my view this is just past peak, so I’d recommend enjoying this sooner rather than later.

Nov 16th, 2020Deep garnet purple wi a lushness of mouthfeel. Long finish with tannic backbone. Macerated cherry on the pallet, signature Saxum. Awesome

Jun 7th, 2019This is a really big but well balanced red. Rich and vibrant fruits across the palette. Lots of structure on the finish.

Jan 22nd, 2017Inky color. Probably the most muted wine I've had from Saxum, but still excellent, with blackberry, all-spice, and tobacco on the end. Here's to the Raiders, who for once in a long long time look like a legitimate football team.

Oct 3rd, 2016Lots of hype for this wine and it was good but maybe not as good as the hype. Need to try a few bottles and vintages. Bold fruit and 15+ abv. Could use more time

Aug 13th, 2016Deep opaque purple. Initial barnyard funk blew off after an hour or so, giving way to dark fruit and camphor. Black tea, graphite, smoke, licorice, berries, bay leaf. Wonderful.
