Description

The Broken Stones cuvee is Syrah based, with a large portion of Petite Sirah and Grenache and a splash of Mataro. It is aged for 18-20 months in mainly new, French barriques. It is full-bodied, rich, and intense, but also reveals great purity, focus and complexity. The Broken Stones is a multi-vineyard blend, utilizing all the vineyards that we source from. Our wines are never racked off their lees and are bottled unfined and unfiltered.


"Primarily Syrah and Graciano, the 2018 Broken Stones is a primal, meaty and savory beast of a wine. It's electric purple and has the makings of a classic wine that will age for decades. Minerals, freshly turned earth, dried flowers, cherry preserves, anise and spice cake all work together in a symphony of aromas and flavors. As Vinous points out in their 98 point review, "[it] Marries richness to finesse with a sure hand and finishes incredibly long and precise..."."
