NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Pax The Hermit Syrah is a bold, intense and complex red wine.Its aromas of dark cherry, plum, and blackberry are complemented by notes of white pepper and violets, with a hint of oak. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and well-structured, with flavors of ripe dark fruits, tobacco, and black pepper. The finish is long and lingering, with a rich and velvety texture. A truly impressive Syrah that will reward careful cellaring.

ORIGINS

Winery: Pax

Region: North Coast California

The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines. The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.
