Tasting Notes

The Broken Axle is always dark and extracted, but the 2015 is especially dark due to the low yields from Stagecoach in 2015. Ripeness was achieved easily with the light crop. Blueberry, sweet baking spice and tanned leather frame a plush texture and silky tannins. We frequently pair this wine with cured meats and charcuterie - always a crowd pleaser. Optimum drinking window is 7-12 years.
