SAXUM G2 VINEYARD 2015 (2)
Paso Robles.
The newest vineyard in the Saxum lineup, the 2015 G2 Vineyard contains 56% Grenache and 44% Mourvèdre. Sporting a medium to deep garnet-purple color, it leaps from the glass with an exuberant red currant and Bing cherry nose, complemented by notes of dried Provence herbs, lavender, orange peel and black pepper. Full-bodied with a firm, grainy texture and tons of freshness, it has lovely spice and herbal layers on the very long finish. September 2017 Drink: 2017-2029 WA 96

u. 2 x 1 cm.
2014 was Sauxm's first vintage of the G2 vineyard. The 2016 G2 Vineyard is a blend of 47% Grenache, 40% Mataro and 13% Tannat. It was made with 6% whole cluster and aged 19 months in several vessels, including 50% foudres and 30% new oak. Medium to deep ruby in the glass, the nose explodes with sour cherries, cranberries, dried black cherries, garrigue, scorched earth and tar aromas with dried flowers and citrus peel coming through with time. The palate is lovely, medium to full-bodied and intense with bright, lifted fruits, a grainy frame, mouthwatering freshness and a long, nuanced finish. 788 cases produced. February 2020 WA 94
