Pax North Coast Syrah 2018 Review
This wine is lean. It smells like it wants to burst with savory aromas of herbs like rosemary, tarragon, and blackberries, but is muted by a musty vibe. The acidity is high and takes away from the depth of the wine. It does have balance, even though it’s funky and would be cool with some stinky cheeses.
