Based on 72% Grenache, 13% Syrah, 6% Mataro, 5% Graciano, and 4% Carignan, aged 22 months in a mix of amphora and French oak, the 2023 G2 Vineyard boasts a sensational perfume of dark berries, black cherries, scorched earth, graphite, and peppery, floral nuances. It’s full-bodied, with a seamless, textured mouthfeel, ripe yet polished tannins, and that rare mix of richness with elegance. This shows the warmer style of the vintage while staying light on its feet and, oh, so drinkable. I love it today, yet it has at least 15 years of prime drinking ahead of it. Drink 2025-2040.

Country

United States

Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

Region

California

California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.

Wine Advocate

A delightful and compelling blend of vibrancy and richness, the 2023 G2 Vineyard features a higher proportion of Grenache than usual, along with a significantly lower percentage of stems, which make up just 2% of the finished wine. It begins with a dark-fruited, reserved note, gradually revealing a distinct floral aroma that rises above a lush, chocolate-tinged core and spice-driven accents. The palate enhances the site's typically powerful, cake-like texture with lively energy and overall subtlety, seamlessly moving into a soaring, high-toned and chalky finish grounded by dark, roasted notes that echo the spice-driven qualities of the nose. It's a blend of 72% Grenache, 13% Syrah, 6% Mataro, 5% Graciano and 4% Carignan that underwent a 22-month maturation in 75% new 300-liter barrique and 11% amphora.

From Bill Gibbs’ acclaimed G2 Vineyard, this wine offers a shy but inviting nose of plums, red cherries, dried cranberries, and warm baking spices, with subtle hints of cedar and tobacco leaf. On the palate, chalky tannins are present but not overwhelming, giving structure. On the palate, it gives flavour notes of cocoa nibs, dark chocolate, and a touch of black pepper. The wine is shy now, yet promising a full life ahead.
