2015 Pax Syrah Castelli-Knight Ranch - USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley (6/17/2021)
Is this the anti-Pax? It’s not an overdone caricature, but it has a richness that feels like someone else made the wine. Maybe it’s all about the site, but I am not opening a Majik Vineyard to go alongside it right now. Once I get past the surprising level of supple fruit there is structure from both acid and tannin. I have one more bottle, and I hope that I can find a way to keep my hands off it for a very, very long time. I love the pleasure the wine gives now, but I really want to see what happens when this get 10-15 years on it.
