September 24, 2021 - One of the best and most interesting domestic Grenache I have had. So bummed I have only one bottle left.

April 22, 2021 - I don’t think Grenache gets much better. Light bodied, savory with lightly ripe fresh fruit and refreshing acidity. Very good food wine. 13% abv. Wind Gap is no more. I don’t think Pax is making this wine. Too bad.

March 10, 2021 - uniquely great. CDP was the jumping off point for this satisfying wine. Our last bottle had depth, some grenache fruit flavor and profoundness that this overachiever shouldn't have had.

February 20, 2021 - Pax Mahle seems to march to a different drummer. This is a light take on Grenache, light bodied, and bright and fresh flavors even after 8+ years. Raised in concrete eggs, this wine still has lots of bright red fruit (did not expect strawberry from a Grenache) accompanied by lovely floral aromatics like violet and and maybe a bit of lavender. Not what I expected when I bought for a steal, but so enjoyable.
