The 2017 G2 Syrah is composed of 90% Syrah, 6% Grenache, and 4% Mourvedre. This Syrah is soft and smooth. The nose has a combination of smoked meats, blueberry, and dried herbs. 22 months in new French oak and 30% whole cluster fermentation gives this wine a ton of complexity and structure.
The more Syrah-dominated 2017 G2 Vineyard (there's 4% each of Grenache and Mourvèdre) offers an fresh, juicy, vibrant bouquet of blueberries, crushed violets, blood orange, and ground pepper as well as a floral quality that would easily lead me to believe there was some Viognier in the blend. Again, the purity of fruit is remarkable. - Jeb Dunnuck
