Pax is a vineyard-focused winery that sustainably produces site-specific wines expressive of place, Cali fruit & rustic affinity for France. Initially tapping into the potential of the syrah grape in Sonoma & Mendocino, Pax & Pam Mahle's winemaking process is holistic, responsible - no chemicals are used in the vineyards, all grapes are hand or foot crushed, and fermentation occurs naturally without the addition of commercial yeasts.
Presently the Mahles work with an array of French varieties and - in addition to the North Coast Syrah - this weekend we're opening the Trousseau Gris & Valdiguié. We got to sample all three earlier this week and were very impressed with their structure & individual character.
The trousseau gris was creamy yet high-toned with musky melon fruit & great drive. Reminiscent of Cru Beaujolais, the valdiguié was nervy with snappy red fruit & mineral firmness. And the syrah was unbelievably savory for a new-world wine, showing a distinct note of olive brine.
