Pax Fenaughty Vineyard Syrah 2020, El Dorado County, California
2020 Syrah
Fenaughty Vineyard
El Dorado County
Fenaughty Vineyard is located in El Dorado County in the Sierra Foothills. The slopes of this
planting reach 2900 ft and fall towards the north. Intensely aromatic from the elevation, the
exposition and from the bright-red Volcanic, Aiken Clay-Loam Soils, this 100% Syrah was
fermented using 100% Whole-Clusters and was crushed entirely by foot. Vibrant and high
toned, we aged this wine for 6 months in very old neutral French Oak 500L Puncheons to
preserve the vibrancy and verve of this high altitude Alpine inspired wine.

Tasting Note:
Herbaceous notes highlight the silky ripe strawberry aromas and the deeper black cherry
notes. Taunt black cherry skins, black pepper and cherry pits keep things in focus. Vibrant
and tight this will reward your patience if you can stash some in your “cellar.” In its youth it
will be a thrilling alpine styled Syrah with lip smacking freshness and vibrancy. This wine will
form sediment in the bottle as it ages and should be decanted and served at 55 degrees.
