Saxum Vineyards Broken Stones 2014

Saxum Vineyards Broken Stones 2014 is one of the estate’s most distinctive and sought-after wines, admired for its powerful Rhône-inspired style and remarkable precision. Built around Syrah with supporting varieties such as Grenache, Tempranillo, Petite Sirah, and Zinfandel, it captures both the intensity and stony mineral drive that have made Broken Stones a cult favorite among California wine lovers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Broken Stones shows a deep, dark color and an immediately expressive bouquet of black cherry, blackberry, blueberry, licorice, crushed stone, Mediterranean herbs, and exotic spice. The aromatics are layered and inviting, with a sense of freshness that lifts the dense fruit and keeps the wine feeling vibrant rather than heavy. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, yet balanced by silky tannins, lively acidity, and a pronounced mineral edge. The finish is long and complex, echoing dark berries, savory spice, and rocky terroir character. This is a wine with excellent aging potential, and the 2014 vintage should continue to develop beautifully over time, gaining more nuance and harmony.

Production
Broken Stones comes from Paso Robles, where the chalky, rocky soils create naturally low yields and highly concentrated grapes. Saxum works with a minimal-intervention philosophy in the cellar, and the wine is bottled without fining or filtration to preserve its depth, texture, and sense of place.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, herb-crusted beef, slow-roasted game, barbecue, or rich Mediterranean dishes such as roasted vegetables, lamb tagine, and braised short ribs. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least an hour to let the wine fully open and show its complexity.

Producer
Saxum Vineyards has become one of California’s most admired cult producers, especially for collectors seeking world-class Rhône-style wines from Paso Robles. Founded by Justin Smith, the estate has earned a strong reputation for its site-driven wines, tiny production, and consistent critical acclaim, making it a benchmark name in the region.
