Loved this! One of the most interesting Syrah's I've tried. Has some baking spice notes and some other characteristics that make it super interesting. Still a lighter body (like some of their other wines). An excellent value!
Really delicious US Syrah. Nose of blueberry, coffee, black pepper, savory herbs. Very silky, fruity and spicy and on the palette. Natural side (very minimal intervention), working with organically farmed vineyards. Unique blend of multiple terroirs to make a really nice syrah that is more value driven. 100% Syrah, 100% whole cluster fermentation (fruit has to be completely ripe she to whole cluster). Great value for the price.
Red cherry spice licorice
Medium body, black pepper, violet
Medium to full body, very interesting spices, very slightly smoky. Not your typical Syrah
Old world quality. Not anything familiar to west Sonoma
ブラックベリー プラム ダークフルーツ
Complex smoky aura that surrounds the wine.
Dry and jammy. Fantastic pairing with grilled NY Strip Steak

シラーなのに華やかで重すぎず程よいタンニン
Years ago while shotgunning Busch lights in a frat basement, if you told me I’d gravitate to inky, peppery, and dry syrahs, I would tell you ‘Busch is for the boys.’ But I find myself really drawn to this fantastic wine!
If you like olives you'll love this wine. Unfortunately for me I'm not the biggest fan of olives. Still a nice wine though.
Lovely Californian Syrah. Notes of cherry, plum and pepper. Hints of vanilla and tertiary flavours of dried leaves and forest floor. Opened wonderfully after decanting.
2025 "Cuvée-Syrah" which is not listed separately on Vivino. Super fresh blackberry, chalky tannins, black pepper, delicious acidity
Complexe syrah maar wel vol van body. Aroma’s van zwart fruit en pruimen zijn sterk merkbaar. In de mond een zachte wijn maar met veel mondvulling.

カルフォルニア、ノースコーストの赤 シラー100% 濃い紫色の外観 黒胡椒、ナツメグ、煙の香り 少し果実味もあるブラックベリーと、スパイシーな風味、そして樽の感じも効いた複雑な味わい。 タンニンはほどほどで、とてもバランスの取れた美味しいシラー。 ラボンヌターブルにてペアリングで w/鹿肉の藁焼き 木の芽や牛蒡との相性もgood
Pax Mahle Wines、 パックス、カリフォルニア ノースコースト、シラー18 濃い紫、 焼けた大地、焦がした胡椒、干し肉、藁、スモーク、 土よりのミネラルにやけ感、スパイシーで酸もありエレガント。 華やかさの中に冷涼感も。 バランスよくフィネスがある。 上質なローヌやニュージーのいいとこシラーの印象。 ちょいと高い印象だが、それほどの味わい。密度もありうまい。
Light bodied Syrah with notes of red fruit, oak, baking slice, bourbon. Long smooth and aromatic, oaky sweet finish! Delightful
Ooh. Hearty! Cassis and a little funk on the nose. So smooth with some light acidity. Blackberry, blueberry and savory herbs on the finish. Amazing! 👌🍷🙂
明るいルビー色 赤系果実、スミレ、スイートポテト、リコリス、若々しい香り フレッシュ果実、すこーしフローラル、大変飲みやすい
Very saturated and extracted flavor. Notes of prune, fig, blackberries, black currant, and black cherry.
Pine tar on the nose. Plum. Rainbow peppercorns. Leather. Quite savory.

Drank at Sophia Steak in Wilmette
Some funk on the nose but taste was better.
3.9/5 mon premier Pax et ça fut une très belle surprise. Un Syrah dans la subtilité et la délicatesse.
A nice Syrah, but not the lowest among Pax wines. Lacking the fruit and acidity expected, but still solid.
Very solid red. blueberry, strong cassis on the nose.
2017 - dry fruity exellent
Nice Syrah from California. Strong tannins or acidity - bit of pursing feel in the mouth. Nice wine. D’Olier #4
100% whole bunch fermented. 10 months in old French oak and concrete. Unfiltered and unfined. What a find in an airport lounge! Intriguing aromas of red fruit and floral notes (violet?). Served blind, I’d guess this was from SW France. Gaillac (pepper notes) or Cahors (red fruit and florality). I reckon the unfiltered nature is leading me down the Gaillac path. M(+) acidity. Nice length. Elegant. Well made. Subtle oak that complements and structures rather than flavours and dominate. 12
Good stuff. Not nearly as complex as other Pax but for price point well worth it and totally drinkable. Though it did get better 30-60min in glass.
Really enjoyed this. Spicy, pepper, and even a minty eucalyptus note or two. Gorgeous Syrah I’ll definitely be having more of.
Backlog 20220907 Second vintage I try of this 100% Syrah and this one was slightly better. No fining or filtration only neutral oak used. Drink 2022-2032
At restaurant Adam & Albin Yum yum! Blackberry, black cherry, smoke, pepper, oak, charcuterie and black olive! Very interesting and complex, well balanced! 🤩🍷
It was one of the most expensive wines I've tried (44$ from Miami wine store) but I can't say it is the best I've tried. It is an interesting, good and complex wine.
Medium-full bodied, medium-high acidity, moderate-firm tannins, dry. Red fruits, black pepper, savory. Some baking spice. Best with a little food/cheese
Funky syrah....has a little olive taste to it, but really interesting and unique. Would buy again, or give to a friend that wants something ‘different’, maybe perfect for someone like Ross.
100% whole cluster. Has a really nice complex and slightly vegetal quality to it for an entry level wine. This is a great producer for elegant and classically styled Syrah. Great value at <$30!
Purple, fizz, medium legs. Black fruit (cassis, blackberry), herbs (rosemary), mild funk. Mild sour, graphite. Medium body, medium+ acid, grippy tannins, medium finish. Fun, funky, a bit rustic.
One of the best CA Syrah’s I had. Although not so shiny and fruit acid pitched it came in with elegance. Dark purple, bold and thick, pepper, blackberry and a lot of herbal tones.
Crisp and confident Syrah slices through fatty meat wonderfully. Cherry, some green pepper and a long finish. Pure and punchy but not too heavy. Delicious with a bbq served cool.
Blackberry, plum, smoke, black pepper, leather, earthy, black olive. Well balanced. I detect some more RS than usual, but not over-the-top. Great Syrah that could give the impression N Rhone.
What a great bottle, not to mention my first experience tasting a California Syrah. Medium-plus body, with a symphony of aromas: blackberry, plum, baking spice, and olive. On the palate, black fruit and black pepper. A very savory wine, with bold flavor and a medium acidity. Medium-plus tannin, followed by a long finish. Excellent!
やや濃い紫がかったダークチェリーレッド。 香りはフレュッシュでカシスとか、黒胡椒、スミレ。樽香は程よくバランスとれた綺麗な香り。 酸味はやや強く、タンニンは中程度で冷涼地っぽい感じのシラー。
A lighter bodied Syrah that could use a bit more tannin and structure. It's 100% whole cluster and spends 10 months in neutral french oak and concrete. Nose - blackberry, blueberry, pepper, savory, smoke, red fruit, oak, baking spice Palate - lighter than expected, juicy, blueberry and blackberry bramble with oak, smoke, pepper, leather, and a bit of red fruit
pepper plum
Superb. Definitely a cool tart juicy syrah with finesse. Cool climate high acidity refine medium tannins. Beautiful light dark fruit blue berry 🫐 earthiness licorice mint. Savory火腿咸鲜in the background. Not as peppery as St R.H . Very enjoyable . Tiny bit unfiltered funk. Thanks Leo recommendation need another bottle
Very smooth
Light, fruity, surprisingly fresh
Liked this quite a bit. Hard at Nouvelle syrah night
Lovely bacon, pepper, salt, bloody tastes and textures. Tasted against a Clape 2014 and held up.
bubblegum maraschino cherry plum
More earthy than fruity. Blackberry, red fruit and damp forest floor. Medium- tannins.
Oak and a light smokiness on the nose, blackcurrant as well. Smooth and fuller bodied Syrah with currant and smoke on the palate. Would pair well with some bbq meat.
Smooth fruity no bite. Easy to drink from first sip
Disappointed as they are known for their syrah but I liked the whites more. Strong camphor on the nose, not sure if it’s smoke taint or intentional. Really overwhelming but the palate still has some nice mix or black fruit and red fruit.
Nice. Very acidic.
WTS オレンジ満載のシラー
Wild raspberry, licorice, smoke, mid weight, slightly silky, a little chewy. Fun to drink
Surpreendeu positivamente
Very perfumed. Rose pedals. Sweeter than expect, yet dense and inky. Pepper. Cedar.
Not bad, but somewhat inoffensive/boring
strong tannins, fruity, leathery notes in smell
Olives, Macx liked

Too much pepper 매워!! 좀 검은과일 탄닌 센 편. Cedarwood ?
