Beautiful! — 7 years ago
First wine we have tried from Agharta Wines and first Cabernet from Pax. Beautiful ruby red with a dark core. Great complexity and layers on the nose, starting with an attack of fresh blueberries and opens up to a few savory and tons of floral notes. Beautiful bouquet of roses, lavendar and lilac with a smokey undertone and a touch of eucalyptus. Nose just keeps changing as it opens. Overall great mouthfeel and well rounded. Moderate tannins (5/10) that is coated in red cherries and raspberries. Moderate body and moderate plus finish. A little shorter than we would have liked but very well integrated. Overall pretty good bargin at around $30 a bottle. Drink till 2021. — 8 years ago
A little austere but bright forest fruits are there with rather bracing acidity. Comes across old-world and rather charming. Let's be honest, these are very young with massive potential. Can't wait to try these with a few years of cellar age. Nice work by the man, Pax Mahle. — 9 years ago

Can I get a keg of this? Pax? — 10 years ago
Very tanic and closed off on first blush, but delicious after some decanting and some air. — 6 years ago

Amazing Pax Mahle — 8 years ago
Love what Pax has done over the years. I have a few bottles of his 2003 Griffins Layer... It's a beautiful wine that is probably mind-blowing at this point; however, this wine shows restraint, refinement and a sense of place. Looking forward to owning a bottle in a few years. — 8 years ago
Pax with restraint and terroir is a lovely thing, as are old Grenache vines. Right vineyard in the right hands. Good now but likely to improve. — 9 years ago
A show stopper of a Syrah. Happy where it's at, although next time I think that I will wait a couple years for it to mature more. A true Vin du Garde nonetheless. Expressive, unique and exciting! @Pax Mahle @Jason Ruppert — 9 years ago

Still plenty of life here. Shedding its fruit, but great earth and richness — 9 years ago

This has to be my favorite wine to bring to a wine party. Barely qualified as an orange wine (skin fermented Trousseau Gris) with juicy acidity, fresh fruitiness with out showing sweetness, and aromas that are ever changing - orange blossom, oyster mushrooms, under ripe pineapple, apple skin.. wish this would stay around. It'll most likely show up in the Pax line up in the future, which I'm okay with. :) — 5 years ago
