Pax Nellessen Vineyard Syrah 2022 Review
Pax is known for Syrah. It's the variety the winery set out to perfect when it first began. Though it's since expanded to other grapes, the winery stays true to its initial mission — with expert precision. This impressive Syrah from the Sonoma Coast is layered with aromas of wild berries, savory orange peels, and earth. The palate is bright and herby with an even balance. An absolutely soulful wine.
