Pax Mahle Syrah 3-Pack - 35% off!

Pax Mahle is California's most famous and heralded Syrah expert. He is a Northern Rhone nut and with this wine he wanted to emulate the famous Rhone wines of Hermitage and St. Joseph but put his own stamp on it. Here's a 3-Pack of his best.

THE BENCH SYRAH, sits betwixt The Clements Hills where it receives cooling winds from The Golden Gate Wind Gap. These fine-grained soils grow fine grained wines. Peppery Northern Rhone style Syrah.

HILLSIDES SYRAH is the jewel in the crown made in concrete like a Beaujolais. This results in a Syrah that is not like any other your have tasted. It's oakless purity is something to behold, something simply not found in the Rhone. Pax Mahle's faithful devotion to the Rhone and to Syrah means that it comes across as Northern Rhoone....from another dimension. This is a dramatic wine:

The 2019 Syrah Sonoma Hillsides is once again the star of this range from Pax Mahle. Rich and exotic, with notable depth, the Hillsides is quite a bit brighter than the other Syrahs in the portfolio. Red cherry, plum, pomegranate, mocha, spice, leather and tobacco abound. The whole clusters are present, but nearly buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. As always, the Hillsides is a blend taken from several sites, done with 100% whole clusters and aged in concrete. Every time I taste the Hillsides, I think the same thing: why doesn’t Pax Mahle treat all his Syrahs this way? 97 POINTS, Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
