Pax believes that “great wines can only be made from great vineyards”, which guides their highly selective decision-making process in choosing sites that are farmed sustainably by dedicated growers that will produce healthy grapes with balanced acids and sugars. All wines are crushed by foot and hand, and fermented using only natural yeasts. Their goal is to produce wines with as little intervention as possible.
Starting his California journey in 1997 with wife, Pam, tasting and sourcing wine from all over the state for Dean & Deluca, Pax realized he needed to be on the frontlines of winemaking rather than behind the scenes, and made the decision to start his own brand in 2000.
Sourced from Castelli-Knight Ranch, Griffins Lair, Armagh, Nellessen, Hawks Butte and Alder Springs vineyards. 100% whole cluster fermentation. Aged 10 months neutral French oak, unfined and unfiltered. Aromas of blackberries, raspberries, black olives and pomegranates are highlighted by notes of black pepper and violets. Vivacious and bright in the mouth with real density of flavor and concentration. Some say Pax could be California's Syrah King.
