Graphite, and Meaty on the nose. Big, bold, and luscious on the palatte with notes of dark/black fruits. Has a little sharpness, but it adds to the complexity and structure. Definitely a fan!

An explosive nose of dark fruit, cassis and spice. The palate is deep, concentrated and spiced with notes dark fruit preserves, smoked meat, minerals, spices and crème de cassis. A great Christmas wine.

This is good, but it's not awesome. Saxum makes a lot of amazing wines; is this one of them? Perhaps, but I may not be the best person to ask - I have come to realize that I am not a big grenache fan. Hence MY review here should not count for those who enjoy grenache. I will refer you to The Black Wine Guy (that's his podcast), as he is better versed with grenache. Still, this is tasty. Don't get me wrong.

An excellent Grenache blend, but most assuredly not worth the $148 price tag. This should blow you away from the first mouthful and that just doesn’t happen. A 1-2 hour decant will enhance your experience.
