2015 SAXUM "G2 VINEYARD" WILLOW CREEK DISTRICT RHONE BLEND
2015 SAXUM "G2 VINEYARD" WILLOW CREEK DISTRICT RHONE BLEND, PASO ROBLES, CALIFORNIA. 56% Grenache, 44% Mourvedre.
96 points Vinous Media: "Deep, lurid violet color. Energetic, mineral-accented aromas of ripe red and blue fruits are complicated by suggestions of incense, Asian spices and pungent flowers. Broad and fleshy on entry, then more taut in the middle, offering sappy, densely packed black raspberry, boysenberry and floral pastille flavors and an exotic suggestion of five-spice powder. Finishes strikingly long and sweet, featuring slow-building, even tannins, a touch of smokiness and repeating red fruit and floral character." (11/2017)
96 points Wine Advocate: "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." (07/2017)
