Tasting Notes

The G2 Vineyard 2017 from Saxum Vineyards is a spectacular Rhône-style blend, combining power, aromatic purity, and textural finesse in perfect harmony.
It opens with complex and expressive aromas of blackberry, raspberry liqueur, plum, lavender, and garrigue, accented by touches of graphite, smoked herbs, and crushed stone.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and remarkably polished, revealing layers of ripe red and black fruits, licorice, pepper, and mineral notes that unfold gracefully over time.
The texture is velvety yet energetic, supported by fine, integrated tannins and a core of vibrant acidity.
The finish is long, seamless, and beautifully balanced, echoing with floral and mineral nuances that reflect its limestone-rich origin.

This 2017 vintage is a masterclass in structure and purity, showcasing Saxum’s precision and the exceptional terroir of the G2 Vineyard.
