2020 Pax Syrah North Coast - USA, California, North Coast

  • 2020 Pax Syrah North Coast - USA, California, North Coast (11/19/2022)
    Day 1: Very similar in style to the Result of a Crush Syrah wines which are a bit cheaper but not by much. Green olives, sour cherry, spice, white pepper, underbrush, minerals and floral notes. Medium plus finish and quite nice overall. For sure a buy at this price. 92 points
    Day 2: While it has some of the same characteristics of day 1 on day 2 gets a little more intense featuring dark berries, smoke, black pepper, spice, floral and underbrush. Went from a Rocks clone to a Barossa wine over the course of two days. I like it and one of the more interesting transformations of the year. 91 points
    Day 3: More rustic on day 3. Underbrush, earth, black pepper, tar, dark fruits and spices. Intensity is up on day 3 so this wine has plenty left in the tank. 91 points
    Recommendation: This really can be drunk now or over the next 8 plus years. (92 points)
