Tasting notes
91% Syrah, 5% Grenache, 4% Mataro. Deep purple in colour. Berry fruit, pine and cedar sap, and warm cinnamon spice on the nose – I love the complexity and individuality of this. This is still tight but is entering its drinking window. Sapid. Dusty mouth-coating tannin and elevated acidity. Garrigue on the finish. (SCJ)

The 2018 G2 Vineyard checks in as a blend of 91% Syrah, 5% Grenache, and the rest Mourvèdre. This stunning wine flirts with perfection and offers a deep purple color as well as a magical bouquet of blue and black fruits, candied violets, new leather, camphor, and a hint of orange blossom. With flawless balance, a deep, opulent texture, building tannins, and a monster of a finish, it's an incredible wine that blends power and elegance perfectly. Don't miss it!
Dark purple. Intensely perfumed aromas of spice-tinged black/blue fruits, potpourri, incense and smoky bacon show excellent clarity and mineral lift. Offers deeply concentrated boysenberry, black currant, fruitcake and violet pastille flavors, along with a sweet vanilla note that emerges as the wine opens up. Finishes firm, sharply focused and extremely long, with slowly mounting tannins, a touch of smokiness and emphatic florality. (JR)
