Subjectively speaking it’s a higher score. I love the lean-fruited old-world style. only 12.6% alc. plum, olive, baked raspberry. I think it would be beautiful in 10-15yr.

Clean, rich fruit with intense aromatics and a proportioned perimeter of iron & rocks.

Phenomenal bang for your buck. Savory purple fruit super complex and not lean despite sub 13% abv. Paired with leg of lamb.

May 3rd, 2020Sheer drinkability is up there! Great blend of the northern Rhône and California Syrah. Yum! Definitely unfiltered.

When someone says breakfast wine, I usually think of mimosas, roses and bright crisp porch pounding whites. THIS Syrah is breakfast wine, but for completely different reasons. First, the nose: maple syrup covered breakfast griddle sausage. Then, as you slurp it on down, the mouth is completely crispy meaty maple bacon with a French roast coffee finish. You can practically crunch the grinds in your teeth, it’s so chewy. And when I say maple, this juice is by no means sweet, but all essence. Yep, I’d have this for breakfast. Errr, with breakfast. Move over latte, you’ve been replaced!

The 2019 Syrah North Coast is superb. A boisterous, forward wine, the North Coast Syrah is loaded with inky dark fruit, chocolate, mint, licorice, spice and menthol. The North Coast was done 100% whole clusters and aged in a combination of concrete and neutral oak. It comes across as a bit riper in profile than most of the Pax Syrahs, but for a wine meant to be enjoyed young, who cares? (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2021)
