2020 Saxum G2 Vineyard | Willow Creek District AVA, Paso Robles California 1.5L Magnum

This vineyard keeps getting stronger and stronger as the vines mature and we get a handle on taming this rugged, mountainous fruit. It's definitely more black fruit focused than the JBV, and a little more dense and chewy, not quite as savory, but it still has a nice loamy earth side to it. I think it's a show stopper. The tannins are remarkable but will definitely benefit from a few years of aging (as will all of our wines). A real banger. 867 cases produced. | Justin Smith for Saxum

...It shows the denser, chewier style of the vintage but has rocking levels of black fruits, charcoal, peppery herbs, and leather. Full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, it offers good tannins and outstanding length. | 93-95 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
