Saxum 2021 G2 Paso Robles 750ml

More lifted and floral, the 2021 G2 Vineyard entices with a whiff of stone dust, lavender pastille and dried cherries. This is pure elegance, with silky textures and polished red and blue fruits motivated by vibrant acidity. Slow-mounting tannins add traction toward the close. Structured and youthfully inward through the finish, this leaves behind a primary concentration and a saturation of crunchy mineral tones. The future is very bright.
