2020 Pax Syrah, Sonoma Coast, California

This bottling is a first for Pax Wines, but many of you will recall a similar blend from the Wind Gap Wines line-up. Mother Nature forced their hand with some devastating fires that forced picking of these sites earlier than past vintages. This 100% Syrah from cool coastal sites, is slightly leaner than the 2020 North Coast, this Syrah is lovely and classic in its spicy vibrancy. Aromas of white pepper, violets, raspberries, green olives and freshly toasted oak. Textured and loaded with spicy red fruits, peppercorns, violets and creosote. Medium bodied and firm, this wine will continue to evolve for a decade and reward the patient.
