The 2022 Pax Syrah is a masterful blend of Syrah grapes sourced from some of the finest vineyards on California’s North Coast, including Griffin’s Lair, Castelli-Knight Ranch, and Vine Hill. By integrating select barrels and underperforming vineyard blocks, Pax Wines showcases the unique soils and climates of these cool-climate sites, creating a Syrah that overdelivers on quality and complexity.

Crafted with 100% whole-cluster fermentation using native yeasts and aged for 10 months in neutral French oak puncheons, this Syrah epitomizes minimal intervention winemaking. On the nose, it offers alluring aromas of damp earth, crushed cherries, and white pepper, accompanied by spice-laden black fruits. The palate is medium-bodied and juicy, featuring layers of black licorice, tar, and pomegranate liqueur, with a taut, balanced finish.
