Pax Wine Cellars built its reputation on Syrah that channels the northern Rhone from California's cool corners, all pepper, savor, and freshness rather than sun-baked weight. The North Coast bottling is the most approachable entry to the range, a great-value introduction to the Pax style. The 2023 offers juicy dark fruit, white pepper, and a smoky, herbal lift over supple tannins. Delicious young and a crowd-pleasing pour for any Rhone-lover. Pre-arrival, ETA late June.

"The 2023 Syrah North Coast is fabulous. Crushed flowers, herbs and deeply pitched spice overtones weave through a core of dark Syrah fruit. Vibrant and inviting, the North Coast Syrah is a gorgeous wine from Pax Mahle. The 2023 offers a terrific mix of forward fruit and bright, salivating acids. It was aged in neutral 500-liter barrels." —Antonio Galloni

More about Pax Wine Cellars

Cult Syrah from a self-taught winemaker. Pax Mahle founded Pax Wines in Sebastopol in 2000 after sourcing wines for Dean & DeLuca opened his eyes to what single vineyards could mean. Now he's the quiet king of Sonoma Syrah: foot-crushed, ambient-fermented, zero additives, sourced from organic and sustainable farms. The wines taste of place, not winemaker ego.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Burgers, grilled sausages, roast chicken, or a pepper-crusted steak.

Tasting Profile

Dark fruit, white pepper, herbs, and smoke. Medium-to-full bodied, juicy, and fresh.

After a stage with Antoine Selosse, Alexandre Chartogne returned to the family estate and turned it upside down. He spent years experimenting and tinkering with every aspect of Champagne making from vine management to vessels. He's landed back where he says his ancestors started: in the vineyards, growing perfect fruit and aging in neutral oak.
