Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"Intensely aromatic, the 2021 G2 Syrah reveals an alluring blend of sweet baking spices, brown sugar, and white pepper complemented by cedar and delicate ripe cherry. Red licorice and roasted game meat add depth while rich blue and black fruits intermingle in the background. Chalky tannins hint at a future of silky refinement. With flavors evolving from citrus sap and Thai basil to luscious blueberry compote and subtle hints of pastry crust, G2 offers muscular structure that promises a graceful evolution.
Drink now through 2038."

94+ Points - Wine Advocate
"The 2021 Syrah G2 is developing much more slowly than some of the other 2021s from Turtle Rock and will require significant time in bottle to unwind. Incorporating 6% Mataro and 2% Grenache, it has deep scents of cassis, milk chocolate, game meats and violet, plus latent undertones of earth and spice. The palate is full-bodied, supple and plush with a harmonious frame and youthfully coiled fruit. Hide this in the back of your cellar." -EB, 12/29/23
