Lot #723. Saxum Heart Stone Vineyard 2012

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 96 WA.
The 2012 Heart Stone Vineyard is 43% Syrah, 41% Grenache and 16% Mourvedre that was aged mostly in concrete (the ’11 was aged 100% in concrete) yet also saw some new and neutral puncheons. Fermented with 40% whole clusters, it’s a big, burly effort that has beautiful creme de cassis, black raspberry, crushed violets, vanilla bean and exotic flower-like qualities all emerging from the glass. It too has a structured feel, with high, yet ripe tannin, so short-term cellaring is also advised here." Wine Advocate #214, Aug 2014
Provenance: The Empalizada Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $75
