Winemaker Notes
The 'Rewski Vineyard is in a slightly warmer microclimate, and the resulting wine definitely leans on the dark fruit side. Saxum utilized a good amount of Tempranillo and Mourvedre in this blend, with less Syrah then typical. What always blows me away about this vineyard is how floral it is. Ripe peaches are consistently found in the nose, along with honeysuckle and roses. It's as if this wine had a large percentage of Viognier hiding in it. However, on the pallet it has tons of dark fruit..... think black cherries dipped in bitter dark chocolate. The finish is classic 'Rewski, with long echoes of chalky dusty tannins.
Blend: 34% Zinfandel, 31% Mourvedre, 16% Tempranillo, 10% Syrah, 9% Petite Sirah

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Much more sexy and voluptuous, the 2011 Paderewski Vineyard (34% Zinfandel, 31% Mourvedre, 16% Tempranillo, 10% Syrah and 9% Petite Sirah) delivers loads of black and blue fruits, spice, incense, chocolate and pan dripping-like savoriness to go with a full-bodied, decadently styled mouthfeel. Showing chalky minerality on the finish, it’s a complex 2011 that should be reasonably approachable on release and have 12-15 years of overall longevity.
Range: 94-96 Points

Wine Spectator
A bruiser, muscular and ripe, with floral boysenberry and chunky chocolate aromas that lead to rich huckleberry flavors, accented by notes of licorice and smoky, savory herb. Shows a touch of heat on the finish. Zinfandel, Mourvèdre, Tempranillo, Syrah and Petite Sirah.
