Fannucchi-Wood Road Vineyard Trousseau Gris 2017

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

Mountain Terraces Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

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

@Greg Ballington great note! Sounds very good. Checked wine-searcher pro - cheapest is $60. Was that winery direct?

Sonoma Coast Syrah 2012

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

James Berry Vineyard Red Rhone Blend 2012

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

Sceales Vineyard Old Vine Grenache 2013

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

The Emerald Pool Alder Springs Vineyard Syrah 2005

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

Cuvée Moriah Red Rhône Blend

CDP style blend from Pax. Grenache based with Syrah and Mourvèdre. Super funky nose with meat, pepper, cranberries, and tobacco. Eye popping fruit for an 11 year old. Mag. — 7 years ago

@Shawn R @Alex Lallos very true. I’m digging the newest vintages too. Always have been, and still are, among the best domestic Rhône style wine values IMO

Majik Vineyard Syrah 2005

So different than its other Pax siblings. Cool climate, 12% ABV. Incredible florals jump from the nose, with a savory N Rhone-ish palate. — 9 years ago
