2004 Pax Syrah, Alder Springs Vineyard, Mendocino County

As new plantings come on-line each year, we get the impression that we have been able to build more into this wine each year. A blend of The Terraces, The West Block, The Knob, The Ridge, The Emerald Pool and for the first time The Manzanita Patch, The Bowl and Spirit Rock.

Tasting Note:
Melted licorice, crushed stone, blackberry and white flowers can all be found in the beautiful aromas of this wine. Full-bodied and powerful in the mouth, these wines always seem to have more dimension than anything else in the cellar. Long, with an uncanny completeness to its texture and aromatics. A brilliant wine, that is delicious and sophisticated.
