Saxum Vineyards Red Blend G2 Vineyard Willow Creek District 2022

Reviews

98 -Jeb Dunnuck -

The 2022 G2 Vineyard checks in as 44% Grenache, 19% Mataro, 18% Graciano, 14% Syrah, and 5% Carignan that's clearly from one of the leading sites on the west side of Paso Robles. Blackberries, red plums, Asian spice, pepper, candied violets, and incense-like nuances all shine in this killer wine. With full-bodied richness, a round, layered mouthfeel, sweet yet certainly present tannins, and a great finish, this heavenly bottle of wine deserves 2-3 years of bottle age and will evolve gracefully over the following 15-20 years. It might be the wine of the vintage in 2022.

96 -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -

The 2022 G2 Vineyard is composed of 44% Grenache, 19% Mataro, 18% Graciano, 14% Syrah and 5% Carignan that spent 22 months in a mixture of 600-liter and 300-liter barrels, 77% new. The nose is deep, charred and brooding, clearly displaying this site's burly, unabashed power. The palate is a split personality that combines extreme, plush, opulent ripe fruits with a beautifully refined, elegant structure with impressive energy and clarity. The finish is coiled and long, ceaselessly expanding in its grip and dimension, which should carry this wine gracefully well past its 15th birthday.

94 -Vinous Media -

The 2022 G2 Vineyard is deeply seductive, blossoming with an enticing burst of raspberry sauce and wild blueberries complemented by a dusting of lavender candies and sweet smoke. On the palate, it is like liquid cashmere--velvety and weighty, with cooling acidity to balance and decadent wild berry fruits swirling throughout. The wine leaves a mass of primary concentration that saturates the senses while tapering off long and gently tannic. A bitter tinge of blackberry lingers, adding lovely contrast.

93 -Decanter -

The G2 Vineyard is only eight years old but has a long life ahead of it on the evidence of this expression, composed of 44% Grenache, 19% Mourvèdre, 18% Graciano, 14% Syrah and 5% Carignan. The nose showcases a basket of blue and purple berries, and warming cinnamon and clove spices. The palate focuses on dark fruits, floral notes, toasted oak, cedar and spice, leading to a lengthy and persistent finish.
