RATINGS

98Vinous / IWC

...towering and statuesque in bearing from the very first taste...possesses tremendous depth from start to finish...marked by more of a red/purplish fruit profile, with bright floral and citrus overtones that confer freshness.

94James Suckling

Engagingly fresh and floral, yet also brooding at the same time... Dark cherries, dark bayberries, crushed violets, grilled thyme and a hint of mussels. Broad, yet very juicy and transparent on the palate, with fresh, fine tannins. Full of verve and freshness.

94Jeb Dunnuck

Classic and peppery...fresh with black plum, violets, and wet stone. It offers great freshness and lift within this full-bodied red, with ripe tannins and a clean finish.

PRODUCER

Pax

Pax Wine Cellars was founded in 2000 by Pax Mahle, a self-trained winemaker, and Joe Donelan, an investor and wine collector who owned 55% of Pax Wine Cellars. The Sonoma County winery became a cult producer of single-vineyard Syrahs. But in 2008 the founders had a falling out, and Pax Mahle left the company. Mahle went on to found Wind Gap Wines, and Donelan changed the name of Pax Wine Cellars to Donelan. Donelan makes Syrah, Viognier, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and a Rhone-style blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre.

TYPE

Red Wine, Syrah (Shiraz)

This grape is grown in milder climates and produces a medium-to full-bodied wine. It is also known as Shiraz, but should not be confused with Petit Sirah, which was developed by crossing Syrah with Peloursin.
