Pax Mahle Wines
Walker Vine Hill Syrah
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Has always been one of Pax's best wines, and this 2006 didn't disappoint at all. Huge structure, amazing acidity, complete dryness, rounded-off tannins but still with grip enough to last another 6-10 years. Impressive!

2005 Vintage.14.8% Alcohol. Need to open with an Ah So type opener, not a corkscrew as the corks have become brittle over time. Thank goodness for the thick bright blue wax seal as it likely saved this bottle from being corked.

As a long time lover of Pax Wines. These have changed with age. Once a powerhouse, it’s become more sublime. Aged Syrah is awesome, just different. Dry and elegant, with a dark fruit on the nose, the palate reveals blackberry and spicy and lots of black pepper. Rich mouthfeel and medium acidity. It’s all still there, but on it’s last leg. Still so good @Pax Mahle
