Bright ruby red. Lovely and layered nose with an attack of floral notes, roses, lilacs, eucalyptus, and some blue fruits. Has some herbal undertones, vanilla, and spices. A touch savory with air. Balanced acidity with medium tannins (6/10). Layered palate with red berries, twigs, a touch savory, and cherries. Great mouthfeel and keeps changing over time. Medium bodied with a medium plus to long finish. Drink till 2021. (91+)

First wine we have tried from Agharta Wines and first Cabernet from Pax. Beautiful ruby red with a dark core. Great complexity and layers on the nose, starting with an attack of fresh blueberries and opens up to a few savory and tons of floral notes. Beautiful bouquet of roses, lavendar and lilac with a smokey undertone and a touch of eucalyptus. Nose just keeps changing as it opens. Overall great mouthfeel and well rounded. Moderate tannins (5/10) that is coated in red cherries and raspberries. Moderate body and moderate plus finish. A little shorter than we would have liked but very well integrated. Overall pretty good bargin at around $30 a bottle. Drink till 2021.

Thought it was a blend then thought it was from Cali then thought it was from Sonoma then thought it was a single varietal, and then thought it was a cab sauv....not really. Tremendous display of restraint and composure. Very blue though.

Crazy site. Way way up. Going through a major replant so if you can try some wines from here, Pax is a great place to start.
