The 2021 Saxum G2 Vineyard is a proprietary blend featuring a dominant Grenache component, complemented by smaller amounts of Syrah and Graciano. This red wine, produced in the Paso Robles sub-appellation of San Luis Obispo in California's Central Coast, presents a robust 15.9% alcohol content and is sealed with a traditional cork closure.

Saxum has a history of working with the G2 vineyard since 2014, and their experience is evident in this 2021 vintage. According to Decanter, who awarded the wine an excellent score of 95, the 2021 Saxum G2 Vineyard "embodies the phrase 'iron fist in a velvet glove,’" showcasing a balance of restraint and power. The tasting notes from Decanter highlight dark cherries on a "shy nose" with hints of cedar and toastiness. The palate is described as a "well-integrated study on precision and interplay," featuring dark currant and plum fruits, cinnamon, black pepper, and sweet oak spice.

Jeb Dunnuck provides an equally compelling review, with a near-perfect score of 99. He notes that the wine is "not yet bottled but already incredibly impressive." Dunnuck emphasizes the Grenache dominance and mentions the inclusion of Syrah and Graciano. He describes the wine as being "loaded with red and black raspberry-like fruits" along with "tons of floral, pepper, and spicy nuances." The wine carries these flavors to a "full-bodied, pure, elegant" finish. Dunnuck praises its remarkable complexity for such a young wine, noting its "incredible tannins and a gorgeous finish," and advises not to miss it.

Overall, the 2021 Saxum G2 Vineyard [Grenache] is a highly regarded wine that demonstrates the expertise of Saxum in working with the G2 vineyard. With strong reviews from both Decanter and Jeb Dunnuck, it promises a well-balanced and complex tasting experience.
