2020 Pax Mahle Sonoma Coast Syrah – A Vibrant Coastal Red

Winemaker’s Craft:
Experience the bold character of this cool-climate Syrah from California’s Sonoma Coast, where coastal breezes shape its elegant profile. Aromatic layers of white pepper, violets, and ripe raspberries mingle with hints of green olives and toasted oak. On the palate, vibrant red fruit, cracked peppercorn, and earthy creosote unfold, framed by a medium-bodied, firm structure. Designed to age gracefully for a decade, this wine shines now alongside rich dishes like Wagyu burgers, BBQ ribs, or cassoulet—perfect for gourmet gatherings or casual indulgence.

The Story Behind the Wine:
A unique 100% Syrah from Pax Mahle’s coastal vineyards, this vintage reflects resilience. Harvested early due to wildfires, it captures the bright acidity and spice typical of Sonoma’s cooler sites. Leaner than its North Coast counterpart, it offers a classic, food-friendly balance—ideal for lovers of refined yet approachable reds.
