Saxum Vineyards
G2 Vineyard Mourvèdre-Grenache Blend
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
This appears to be evolving. The first bottle, perhaps, highlighted the grenache a bit more whereas tone the fruit was a bit less exuberant and savory notes more pronounced.

En mag. Typical parfait aromas, but surprisingly gentle on palate, belying its 15.8%. A touch of savory norhone mid-palate. Rate-able!

My second time trying Saxum and I got to say these wines have such character. Luscious and ripe. Dark fruits, liqueur, peat, violets, garrigue. Ending is tannic and long. Impressive balance for a heavy weight wine like this. Please refrain from drinking this if you have a bottle, still quite youthful even for my taste. With a handful of years cellering it could become legendary.
