Our 2017 G2 Syrah is 90% Syrah, 6% Grenache, and 4% Mourvedre. This vintage is soft and smooth right out of the gate but has 10 plus years of ageablitly. The nose has a combination of smoked meats, blueberry, and dried herbs. 22 months in new French oak and 30% whole cluster fermentation gives this wine a ton of complexity and structure. Drink now until 2030.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 95 Points
"A blend of 90% Syrah, 6% Grenache and 4% Mourvèdre, made with 33% whole cluster and aged 20 months in 90% new oak, the 2017 G2 has a medium to deep ruby color and open, spicy nose with mint chocolate, cured meats, white pepper and floral aromas over a core of crushed blackcurrants, blackberries and red berry jam. The medium to full-bodied palate is intense and inviting, with great freshness, a grainy frame and loads of savory fruits, finishing long and layered."
Wine Spectator - 92 Points
"Offers presence and polish, with a core of lively acidity and tannins wrapped in richly structured blueberry, brown baking spice and crushed rock accents. Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2029."
