2010 Saxum "Broken Stones" Paso Robles Rh̫ne Blend

Savory notes meld into black olives, crushed rocks and graphite as the 2010 Broken Stones opens up in the glass. The 2010 stands out for its length and persistence. I had expected the 2010 to be a little bit more expressive, but post-bottling it remains tightly coiled and reticent. Readers will have to be a bit more patient here. Broken Stones is 63% Syrah, 19% Mourv̬dre, 15% Grenache and 3% Petite Sirah.
