Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Wet stones and chalk, minerality, spices, and then the core of fruit. The tannins are more refined, or transparent, than the monster tannins of ’13 or ’12.
Blend: 41% Syrah, 19% Grenache, 16% Petite Sirah, 13% Mourvedre, 8% Tempranillo, 3% Roussanne

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Blended of 41% Syrah, 13% Mourvèdre, 19% Grenache, 16% Petite Sirah, 8% Tempranillo and 3% Roussanne, the 2014 Broken Stones has a deep garnet-purple color and exuberant black and blue fruit notes with suggestions of raspberry pie, potpourri, spice cake and fallen leaves, plus a waft of chocolate box. Full-bodied and full-on gorgeous, it fills the palate with soft, sexy fruit and plush tannins, finishing on a spicy note.
-
Wine Spectator
Precise yet rich in personality, offering a dense core of crushed-stone minerality and tannins, bound by expressive blueberry and dried cherry fruit, accented by licorice, dark chocolate and smoked pepper hints. Hands off for now. Syrah, Grenache, Petite Sirah, Mourvèdre, Tempranillo and Roussanne. Best from 2019 through 2027.
