Still very youthful. Nose is interesting with tart elderberry, green peppercorn, and resiny minerals. Nice soft mouthfeel, but it’s very lean and undernourished on the palate. Lots of acids but not a lot in the way of flavor. Strikes me as trying too deliberately for a particular style at the expense of pleasure.

Never, ever question the brilliance of pax mahle when it comes to Syrah. I would call this faury 'vielles vignes' blind. Violetpepperoncini.

Continuing the Syrah kick. Pax Mahle working with Cardiac Hill fruit. The most northern rhone wine I've ever tasted out of CA, this could kill in a blind tasting. I'm now drinking it on day 3 and it's finally starting to come into a zone. It's still dry and austere, but with wonderful blue fruit underneath. This thing needs 10 years.

Dark cherries, blackberry pie and york peppermint patty on the nose. Seamless symphony of structure on the palate.
