uncovering the individualist, iconoclast, leader, follower, imitator, trend-setter, inspired and independent; the whore, slut, prude, effeminate, delicate, and luxurious; the animal, the gruff, the masculine, and the muscle-flexing; the smooth, the rough, the balanced and unbalanced, the harmonious and unharmonious, the reserved and outspoken, the adamant and uncertain and the confused; and the simple-minded, homogenous, insipid, and uninspired; in the expression of wine.

Pax


Vintage: 2004
Producer: Pax
Grape : Syrah

Appelation: Sonoma Coast

Vineyard : Richards Family Vineyards

On My Palate:

Rich blackberry syrup. Put it on your pancakes.

The Dregs:

Pax aspires to produce “reference point syrah based wines that are indicative of where they are grown,” and they have been garnering industry and press attention for doing just that. They released 13 syrahs sourced from individual sites from the 2006 vintage.

Yes, this wine is indicative—of over-oaked, over-extracted new world Syrah.

Where:

In the empty lounge at Addison del Mar. The Sabonet silver clinks against the Bernardaud porcelin and echoes under the vaulted ceiling.
