97 Points - limited 97 Points Robert Parker: "A 46% Mourvèdre, 30% Syrah, 14% Petite Sirah and 10% Zinfandel blend, the 2015 Paderewski Vineyard has a deep garnet-purple color and notes of red roses, warm cranberries and blackberries with hints of mulberries, garrigue, moss and dusty earth. Full-bodied, with a lovely fragrant earth and savory-laced palate with firm, grippy tannins and loads of mineral nuances on the long finish... ...Needing no introduction for anyone that’s followed the Wine Advocate or the wine scene in Paso Robles for any time in the past decade, Heather and Justin Smith’s Saxum Vineyards continues to fashion sensational, world-class wines from a number of top sites on the west side of Paso Robles."

The blend on this has changed a lot over the years. This is Mourvèdre-centric. It’s terrific.

Lots of ripe fruity berry and stone fruit. Delicious.

This will sound ridiculous, unless you’ve tried this. This Saxum is power without weight, reminds me of a grand cru Vosne with just a hint of more fruit. 15% but elegant and complex. The alcohol is completely invisible. Wow.
