Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The inaugural release of G2 is a blockbuster. They made twopicks in 2014. First the top half of both the Grenache andMourvedre which were co-fermented after de-stemming. Thentwo weeks later we picked the bottom halves of the blocks andco-fermented, but this time we used 100% whole cluster. Forthe first year we kept it in puncheons, many of them new Frenchoak. We then racked into Foudres (huge barrels) for the last 6months. Each lot came out ridiculously good, but the combo ofthe two is insane. Ripe, rich and hedonistic, yet full ofcomplexity and length. Red fruit, with some darker tar and spicenotes lurking in the background. The finish is a day long,maybe even two.

Blend: 58% Mourvedre, 42% Grenache

Professional Ratings

97 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Tasted just after bottling and a final blend of 58% Mourvedre and 42% Grenache, the 2014 G2 Vineyard comes from a site just to the southeast of James Berry (this was formerly known as Gravity Hills Vineyard) that was planted in the late 1990s. The first release from Justin from this site, this beauty sports a deep ruby/purple color as well as a gorgeous, layered bouquet of cured meats, spice, mulled dark fruits, graphite and loads of this chalky minerality that also emerges on the palate. Rich, full-bodied, ultra-pure and impeccably balanced, this seamless, full-bore beauty will need 2-3 years to really shine, and keep for a decade or more after that.
94 Wine Spectator
Distinctive, combining polish with appealing earthiness. Aromas of raspberry, mineral and smoky meat lead to structured and focused flavors of dried cherry, licorice and ground ginger. Finishes with refined tannins. Mourvèdre and Grenache. Drink now through 2028.

Saxum Vineyards is focused on producing Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvedre based blends from the Templeton Gap of Paso Robles, California. We let our rocky calcareous soils, steep hillsides, and cooling ocean breezes speak through our wines by keeping our yields extremely low, picking fruit at the peak of ripeness, and using a minimalist approach in the cellar. Production is kept at a total of 2200-2800 cases per year divided between 6 different cuvees, Broken Stones, Heart Stone Vineyard, James Berry Vineyard, Booker Vineyards, Rocket Block and Bone Rock.
