2020 G2 Syrah
$90
The 2020 G2 Syrah is 91% Syrah, 5% Mataro, and 4% Grenache. Almost all of the Syrah comes from Block 8 of the G2 vineyard, a south facing slope with extremely thin and rocky topsoil. The wine is intensely masculine and offers notes of black fruit, Christmas spices, and chocolate. The acid and tannins are in perfect balance, resulting in a wine with impressive age ability. Aged in 70% new French oak. 266 cases produced. Drink now through 2033.
“The 2020 G2 Vineyard should certainly be outstanding. Based on 91% Syrah, 6% Graciano, and the rest Mourvèdre, it has lots of black fruits, ground pepper, and graphite notes in a masculine, full-bodied, chocolaty style.”
