Pax Sonoma-Hillsides Syrah 2021, Sonoma County, California
2021 Syrah
Sonoma Hillsides
Inspired by the Syrah based wines chiseled from the slopes of St Joseph, this 100% Syrah is
becoming a reference point of its own for Syrah in the new world. Just like in St Joseph, we
pulled this blend together from multiple sites and utilized the most interesting expositions of
these meticulously cared for vineyards. Hillsides that show the freshness and vibrancy that
Syrah can only achieve on cool-climate slopes. Blended together in a single cubic concrete
vat, this wine is the epitome of density, finesse, style and deliciousness. This wine eschews
the standard run-of-the-mill Syrah, shapeless with blubber, oak and extraction that many
people wrongly confuse with quality.

Tasting Note:
This is what Syrah smells like! Full, rich and decadent, but lifted and vibrant, pure and clean.
Violets and wet rocks highlight the layered cassis fruit with black olives galore, black pepper
and some vivid pomegranate thrown in for added dimension. This wine smells like a warm
embrace of Syrah heaven. Jump in!
We drink this wine often and when we do, we serve it at 55 degrees, especially in the
warmer months. You should try to do both things as well.
