2019 | Saxum | Paderewski Vineyard Paso Robles

The 2019 Paderewski Vineyard is incredibly complex, with loads of red and blue fruits as well as black licorice, orange blossom, and flowers. This beauty is full-bodied, has a layered, seamless mouthfeel, no hard edges, and as I wrote in notes after tasting this, it’s a killer wine

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2019 Paderewski Vineyard is a bright, perfumed blend of co-fermented fruit: 53% Syrah, 18% Mataro, 11% Zinfandel, 8% Graciano, 7% Tempranillo and 3% Viognier. Medium ruby, the nose is bursting with wild berries, blood orange and floral aromas. The medium-bodied, finely textured palate is notably restrained, fresh and minerally, a departure from the bolder styles of warmer vintages in the last decade, and it finishes long and uplifted. Drink it on the earlier side for its fragrant, pretty fruits.
  

• Vinous: Saturated magenta. Highly perfumed, spice-accented red and blue fruits,botanical herbs, incense, potpourri and a hint of smokiness on the nose. Displays vibrant, spice-tingled blueberry, cherry cola, cassis and exotic spice flavors and seamless texture. Turns firmer and echoes the spice and floral notes on the strikingly persistent finish, which features harmonious tannins and lingering blue fruit character.
  

Producer Information

Saxum Vineyards is a Californian wine producer in the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles. It is known for its portfolio of red blends produced from the key Rhône varieties: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.The estate was planted at the end of the 1980s with a majority of vines now over 40 years of age. Located a mere 10 miles (16km) from the coast, unearthed fossilized whale bones have been discovered here requiring a jack hammer to plant the vines. Planted throughout an undulating landscape the vineyards are located on slopes at an altitude of approximately 1200 feet (365 meters).Saxum's portfolio now features a collection of proprietary cuvées. The Rhône varieties reign supreme, but there are small plantings of other grapes like Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, which are used in small amounts. Strict yields inform the limited production of roughly 5500 cases annually.
