2010 vintage. Smooth and lush with lovely red berries and loamy spice additions on the medium-bodied and well balanced palate. Best bottle to date.

Wanted a Rhone style wine. This was California style with big notes perfect for my Bison Short Ribs

This does not motivate me to come back to domestic GMS blends. Beyond over the top. Not the Pax I knew and loved 10 years ago.

We decanted this. The nose was funky and game-y when opened, but it settled into this really nice maraschino cherry flavor with some air. The wine is really full bodied but still has some great acid. Hardly any oak at all.

2010 vintage. Still quite young. Enjoyed it more on the second day of being opened.

Like this broad Syrah from Pax. Good expression of 2006 vintage. Supplied by Maria Pepe's collection. Bravo

A great Syrah; bold and full of life, dense and packed with dark fruit, yet restrained and fresh thanks to stalky tannins and juicy acidity. Mr Mahle, welcome back!

A little flat for a gsm. Not much acid or tannins to propel.
