PAX, Sonoma Hillsides Syrah, 2023
PAX is known for redefining California Syrah through a focus on hillside sites, moderate alcohol, and savory structure. The Sonoma Hillsides bottling draws from steep, well-drained vineyards across Sonoma County, where elevation and cooling influences preserve freshness. Farming partners are chosen carefully, and winemaking is restrained, allowing Syrah’s natural character to come through.
The 2023 vintage is energetic and precise, showing blackberry, blueberry, and black olive layered with cracked pepper, violets, and subtle earth. The palate is focused and well-structured, with bright acidity and firm but polished tannins that give the wine tension and length. The finish is savory and persistent, making this an excellent Syrah that reflects both site and restraint.
Varietal: Syrah
Appellation: Sonoma County, California, United States
Farming: Sustainably farmed
Style: Red. Savory, structured, and site-driven
