Another killer effort from @Pax Mahle Deep rich purple. The nose is chocolate and olive and blackberry. The palate is full and Rich with black cherry and chocolate. This finish lingers for a minute plus. Medium acidity and tannins still present but well integrated. Just another solid wine. — 4 years ago

Spot on, great name for this wine. It’s not red, not white and not rose. A very light red of very low tannin to be drunk cold. This is a couple white varieties and Syrah which was carbonic macerated. You can smell the bubblegum on the nose. Cranberries and cherries. Tastes as the classiest koolaide. — 3 years ago
Pax Cuvée Christine, Sonoma County 2003. Recently started drinking Pax, but this is my first with good age. 16 years but still opened pretty tight despite decanting. Beautiful nose with lots of leather and mushroom. Great earth on the palate, with some dark red fruits and some dried red and maybe some red stone fruits. Served with Shepard’s pie, hen of the woods mushrooms, bucatini with lamb ragu, and broccoli rabe. Still remarkably young, but mellowed with some air. — 4 years ago
