Tasting Notes
What a pleasure to finally taste these wines! I've been following these wines for a while hoping they would finally make it to our shores and they definitely live up to the hype. The North Coast Syrah is a blend of vineyard that span Sonoma County all the way to Mendocino County with the idea being different sites offer different components to the final wine giving Pax the freedom to create a heavily Northern Rhone influenced expression of Syrah. This has all the intensity, spice, cracked pepper, black olive, bacon fat with a touch of game with a core of blue fruits. There is so much to enjoy in this wine. - Pete L
The beautiful lo-fi wines from Pax Mahle in Sonoma are here! It’s all savoury here, yet generous in this field. The bouquet is so perfumed - pepper, sarsaparilla, balsamic - and that’s just the beginning. The palate is balanced, elegant, structured and persistent. This wine needs decanting and time to evolve, but I love what I see already. More to come… - Chris L
