Saxum Red Heart Stone Vineyard 2017  - First Bottle

Reviews

97 Jeb Dunnuck -
There was a single foudre of the 2017 Heart Stone Vineyard, which checks in as a blend of 50% Syrah, 22% Grenache, 14% Graciano, and the rest Petite Sirah and Touriga Nacional that was mostly destemmed. Showing even better from bottle than barrel, it offers a stunning nose of ripe blueberries, black raspberries, ground pepper, and violets. Full-bodied, rounded, and seamless on the palate, it has a beautiful sense of complexity and purity paired with serious depth of fruit and opulence on the palate.
96 Vinous -
Vivid purple. Powerful dark berry, cherry pie, incense, potpourri, musky herb and spicecake aromas show outstanding clarity and pick up a smoky mineral flourish with aeration. Sweet and chewy on the palate, offering deeply concentrated but energetic blackberry, cherry preserve, five-spice powder and floral pastille flavors that are given lift and spine by a core of juicy acidity. Blends richness and finesse smoothly and finishes incredibly long and spicy, with youthfully firm tannins adding shape and final grip.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
This Syrah Grenache and Graciano (with some Petite Sirah and Touriga Nocional) blend is pure and hedonistic, just a single foudre was made of this gem. It is all about blue fruits, flowers and peppery spice. 96 and 97 points.
