There’s a lot of wine being made in California and abroad that is, in theory, similar to this wine… Extremely old vines of obscure varietals, natural production and so on. However, in this case, winemakers Pax Mahle and Loren Grossman have delivered something that shines brighter than the rest - including their other labels. 

Titular “Pax” wines have a similar sense of spice, animal and force, but often lack the subtly found here. His other label “Wind Gap” capitalizing on the trend of hardly ripened fruit to give the wine telling minerality and that mouth-puckering tart freshness at the expense of body.  All of which is also evident in this wine, but much more balanced and slowly revealed. 

This wine is sexy and nimble, but has depth and a sense of place. Reminiscent of  Northern Rhone but less narrowly focused. It’s all you can ask for from California. They only made about 100 cases, and it retails for under 40 dollars. We have 9 bottles left at Joy Wine & Spirits, come in and get it. — 9 years ago

More audacious than Berlusconi, broader than Sophia Loren and more complex than Vittorio De Sica! I wish this could happen on the left coast! — 10 years ago

There is an Italian sale on in the O Briens library.. This is export is up there with the Godfather, Zola, Parma Ham, Pavorotti, Paresse and Sophia Loren... It enters the taste chamber and dances on every part of the tongue.. I love oak but this bit of juice is full of taste poke. It covers berries and spice with no oak, it's light, bright, sprite and is keeping the Baroness content and bright.. Bacchus should place the Jesuit AMDG across the label... Exceptional value also...

A bit light compared to other years. Elegant acidity. A hint of st jo game on the nose. More Audrey Hepburn than Sophia Loren. A bit closed - it is young after all. — 10 years ago

$&!?"@ incredible. 19.99 in BC. Amazing intensity, spicy baked fruits with fine tannin . Long long finish. Sophia Loren has the Molondro last name in her family and has enjoyed this wine as a gift from Jaun Carlos — 12 years ago
