The 2022 G2 Vineyard is composed of 44% Grenache, 19% Mataro, 18% Graciano, 14% Syrah and 5% Carignan that spent 22 months in a mixture of 600-liter and 300-liter barrels, 77% new. The nose is deep, charred and brooding, clearly displaying this site's burly, unabashed power. The palate is a split personality that combines extreme, plush, opulent ripe fruits with a beautifully refined, elegant structure with impressive energy and clarity. The finish is coiled and long, ceaselessly expanding in its grip and dimension, which should carry this wine gracefully well past its 15th birthday. (ML)

The 2022 G2 Vineyard is a blend of 44% Grenache, 19% Mataro, 18% Graciano, 14% Syrah, and 5% Carignan. It was aged for 22 months in 300-liter and 600-liter barrels, 77% new. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it comes barreling out of the glass with exuberant notes of red currant jelly, Bing cherries, and preserved plums, giving way to hints of mint tea, fallen leaves, and cloves. The full-bodied palate has velvety tannins and just enough freshness to support the gregarious red berry and savory flavors, finishing on a lingering minty note. (LPB)

Intense, the 2022 G2 Vineyard bursts from the glass with a mix of crushed raspberry, violet pastille and autumnal spice. Though silky smooth and weighty, this wine lacks the crisp acidity expected. Instead, it offers masses of ripe wild berries, swirling around a core of intriguing mineral notes with a hint of clove. It takes on a liquid floral concentration through the finish, with subtle tannins, hints of baking spice and sweet herbs. (EG)
