The 2011 Bone Rock is the wine where all of the Saxum signatures intersect with the personality of the year to the fullest. A healthydollop of Roussanne gives the Bone Rock extraordinary aromatic lift and nuance to balance the intense varietal fruit.Layers of dark plums, sage, rose petal, tobacco, new leather and spice blossom in a extraordinary wine of precision, power and depth. Expressive floral notes are woven throughout, adding to the wine's beguiling, complex personality. This is a fabulous showing from Saxum made all the more notable by the challenges of the year.

Classic notes of pepper and wild berry give this sturdy red plenty of backbone and tension. The tannins are more muscular and gripping than in recent vintages, giving the flavors traction and length. Drink now through 2026. 460 cases made. — JL
