Pax Mahle's new releases are terrific. My impression is that a focus under just the Pax label after the sale of Wind Gap is bringing a greater sense of clarity and purpose to the wines in this lineup.

The 2016 Syrah Sonoma-Hillsides is without question the star among these new wines from Pax Wine Cellars. It is also one of the most profoundly beautiful California wines I have ever tasted. As always, the Pax wines are a bit richer than those Pax Mahle makes at his Wind Gap label, but much more restrained than they were at the outset.
