description: It's necessary to talk about alcohol levels with Saxum's wines, because they define the style. With this one, it's 16.4%, higher than almost any commercially-released red table wine in California. That's almost Port. It's vast in chocolate, raspberry purée, cherry jam, anisette and cassis flavors. That makes it sound sweet, but it's dry and smoothly tannic. Saxum fans will exult. Others may find the wine problematic.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
