The 2020 Saxum Hexe is a spellbinding symphony of flavors that will enchant even the most discerning of palates. This proprietary blend hails from the verdant vineyards of the Central Coast, specifically the Paso Robles sub-appellation within San Luis Obispo. The Californian sun, combined with the unique terroir of the region, has yielded a wine of exceptional quality and character.

From the house of Saxum, renowned for their superb craftsmanship and tireless pursuit of perfection, the 2020 Hexe is an exhilarating expression of the vineyard's potential. This red wine is a captivating blend of 51% Grenache, 17% Petite Sirah, and the remainder, a mix of Graciano and Mourvèdre, all sourced from a single parcel of old vines in the James Berry Vineyard.

The moment you uncork this bottle, you are greeted by an enticing bouquet of darker red and black fruits, smoked herbs, graphite, and spicy notes that assert their presence and command your attention. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied, boasting of a terrific concentration that is well-balanced with ripe, polished tannins.

A score of 96 from Jeb Dunnuck serves as a testament to the exquisite quality of the 2020 Hexe. This wine, in his words, is a step up over the Rocket Block and one of the finest 2020s out there, making it a prime choice for those seeking to experience the pinnacle of what Californian wines have to offer. This is more than just a bottle of wine; it is a sensory journey that tells the tale of its origin, mastery, and undying passion for winemaking.
