Griffin’s Lair | Pax

A complex, expressive Syrah with layers of dark inky fruit, smoke, liquorice and Mediterranean herbs from a singular site on the Sonoma Coast. The coarse sandy soils and small berries give the wine depth and concentration, while the cool Pacific influence from the Petaluma Gap brings freshness. This is a serious food wine, approachable now, but with the bones to age further.
