Pax, North Coast Syrah 2020

This 100% Syrah is a blend of components from some of our favorite vineyards on the north coast. The driveway rows at Castelli-Knight Ranch, barrels from Vine Hill that don’t make the cut, some ethereal barrels from Alder Springs on occasion, in other words, the good stuff that isn’t good enough to be vineyard-designated. 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

Pax and Pam moved to wine country in 1997 to create a lifestyle that involved working with wine. After a few years of tasting and sourcing wine from all over California, Pax finally found a vineyard in which he felt a kismet connection. Alder Springs Vineyard was the site and subsequently led to the launch of the PAX brand in 2000. The Mahles made a bold choice by favoring the untapped potential of the Syrah grape. Their entire line up of wines came from cool climate vineyards in Sonoma County and Mendocino. These wines were big, rich expressions of Syrah that went on to be highly sought after. As a result, Pax quickly became established as one of California's premier producers of Syrah

At Pax Wines winemaking is approached holistically. This is done by taking care to use only grapes that are grown without the use of chemicals and by hand making their wines with as little intervention as possible.
