Saxum Vineyards
Paderewski Vineyard Zinfandel Blend
This has evolved well. Still generous amounts of fruit but savory, earthy notes are there and it’s well structured. Complex and tasty.

Jan 11th, 2022This blend has changed a lot over the years. This vintage there’s only 22% zin. Dark fruit, rich and plush.

May 16th, 2020Happy holidays, everyone! Drinking beautifully now but no rush still plenty of life to go...opened about 45 min before drinking.

Dec 25th, 2024Needed a little bit of air but it did not take long to start singing. Consistently good.

Jul 10th, 2022Six different grapes in this one 30% mourvedre, 22% zin, 13% syrah, 13% tempranillo, 12% grenache, and 10% petite sirah). It’s Saxum so it’s awesome by definition, but what blew me away was that it was pretty aproachable right away…but was still drinking great after we set a little aside in the fridge for 5 days! Don’t know how Justin does it, but I’m glad he does!

Jun 7th, 2021This is rich and full bodied with lots of blackberries and blueberries.. some meat juice and pepper give it a hint of savoriness but the fruit dominates! Excellent wine by Saxum and drinking beautifully now!!

Oct 11th, 2020Actually a Mourvedre-heavy blend, this is one of the more interesting blends from Saxum that I’ve had in a while. 30% Mourvedre, 22% Zin, 13% Syrah, 13% Tempranillo, 12% Grenache, and 10% Petite Sirah, this wine is really cool. Complex berry profile across the palate with a rich mouthfeel, this is a great one to drink now or leave for a few years to see how it develops. Very cool.

Nov 3rd, 2019Fantastic! Decanted for 45 min. Intense black and blue fruit aromas that give a big hint at the massive wine that is about to be drank. Massive dark fruit, smoke, allspice, and tobacco. Finish just goes on and on and on.....
Perfectly paired for rib night on vacation.
No rush to drink.
