Tasting Notes

Color Deep garnet with purple hues

Nose Bright, fresh and expressive red fruit — Rainier cherry, raspberry, and an exotic top note of dragon fruit and rambutan. Underneath, blueberry, plum and morello cherry pull the fruit darker. High-toned Kona peaberry coffee runs through the whole of it, with a savoury, almost umami hint of fresh morel.

Palate An acid pop lands in the centre of the palate and radiates outward. The mid-palate is quick, then widens into a very full finish of oak, vanilla and bakery spice — a concha coming out of the panadería oven first thing in the morning. Cherry returns at the end, and tense acidity over fine-grained tannin leaves you thirsting for the next sip.

Site Notes

WILLOW CREEK | 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 VINEYARD | 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.

    “Checking in as 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance equal parts Cabernet Franc and Merlot aged 22 months in 50% new French oak barriques, the 2023 G2 North is another beautiful effort from this estate. Red and black currants, chalky minerality, flowers, spice, and leather nuances all shine on the nose, and it's full-bodied, concentrated, and flawlessly balanced on the palate. It might have a touch more elegance than the Maison Mittal Armaa.N Estate, but both of these are brilliant wines that will be long-lived. Drink 2026-2041.”
