2020 Saxum, Paderewski Vineyard, Central Coast 1x750ml

Vinous 93

Spiced black cherries, rum cake, molten chocolate and sweet sage form a bouquet that’s impossible to ignore as the 2020 Paderewski Vineyard opens in the glass. This is elegant to the core, with a creamy wave of ripe red fruits that flow under an air of violet inner florals. Chalky mineral tones cake the palate. It finishes with tremendous length and structure, as residual acids work to maintain freshness, and black raspberry hints slowly fade. The Paderewski is a co-fermented blend of 48% Syrah, 21% Mataro, 18% Zinfandel, 7% Graciano and 6% Tempranillo. [Eric Guido, 18/05/2023]
