2022 Pax Syrah North Coast, California

This 100% Syrah is a blend of components from all our favorite vineyards on the north coast. The swale at Griffins Lair, the driveway rows at Castelli-Knight Ranch, barrels from Vine Hill that don’t make the cut for Hillsides, new sites that we are figuring out or just blocks or rows that typically underperform. The good stuff. This wine guarantees the quality of our top end wines while creating a unique blend of all the great terroirs together, creating one very compelling and over delivering bottle of Syrah.

Tasting Note:
Damp earth, crushed cherries, white pepper, spice laden black fruits with a taunt finish of black licorice, tar and pomegranate liqueur. Medium bodied and juicy, this one punches well above its weight class. Nothing less than a classic Syrah, this shows a lovely balance of fruit, spice and earth. Drink now and stash a couple away to be rewarded with more weight and texture.
