Tasting Notes
Color Deep ruby with violet hints
Nose Bold and assertive — builds in intensity while maintaining a friendly character. Crushed fruit and strawberry coulis complemented by subtle warm tobacco. Intricate and complex bouquet requiring time to fully unfold.
Palate Rich and layered — plush Merlot body with Cabernet Franc structure. Deep yet jovial presence. Requires proper aeration before serving. Excellent accompaniment to food and conversation. Serious and structured.
Site Notes
The Willow Creek District features calcareous, high-pH clay soils, steep slopes up to 30%, and a strong marine breeze cooling high diurnal temperatures.
G2 North sits in the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles, a stone's throw from James Berry. Steep, rocky, calcareous ground - the kind that makes a vine work for its living. Organically farmed, hand-harvested, drip-irrigated from wells on site.

“Notes of potpourri, including dried roses, on the nose. Steely on the palate, with a tannin grip that yields to flavors of ripe pluots, crushed red fruit, and strawberry compote. Hints of tobacco and anise on the finish. 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc.”

“This is a plush blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc from a cooler site in West Paso. Intense blueberry, cassis and violet aromas are leveled by tobacco and marjoram on the nose. The palate is dense and lush with rich black cherry and black pepper flavors that are wrapped in firm while forgiving tannins. Give it ample time to open to get the full experience.”
