2019 Saxum Heart Stone Vineyard | Adelaida District AVA, Paso Robles California 750ml

Simple is not an adjective you'd use to describe this wine. It has Graciano as the lead varietal, but it's really an ensemble cast. Grenache and Syrah also vie for your attention. Heart Stone is probably the spiciest wine in the line up, but also the most layered. I always like how this vineyard really makes you think. It's tasty. It's intellectual. Oooh la la. 585 cases produced. | Justin Smith for Saxum

...Rocking levels of red and blue fruits, white pepper, and sandalwood all emerge from the glass, and it's full-bodied, with a pure, polished mouthfeel, silky tannins, and one heck of a great finish... | 97 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
