2018 Pax Syrah North Coast
Community Tasting Note
Adam V Likes this wine:
Saturday, October 15, 2022 - Appearance: Bright purple, almost magenta
Aroma: Kalamata Olives! So much olive on the nose. Smelling past the olives, there is so much more here. Lavender and violet, bacon grease, black pepper, blueberries, even some hints of citrus.
Taste: Light and lean. Very fine, well-integrated tannins. Nice acidity with a long finish. Roasted game meat, moderate blue fruit, black olives.
Another great showing from Pax. This is drinking really well right now but can definitely go for another 5 years or so before any concerns of this dropping off. I’ll also add that I PnP’d for the above notes, but I did double decant the wine since there was a ton of very fine sediment and I had to go out for a few hours. Coming back to it later, the notes are pretty similar but the wine is a bit smoother and the fruit has started to come forward more.
