A new wine for Pax, this blend is replacing The Vicar, which had a solid 10 year run, but once they lost the old-vine Mourvedre component that gave The Vicar its soul, they felt it best to retire that wine altogether. This glorious expression of Co-fermented Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah is bold, concentrated and exotic. This classic combination of grape varieties is best enjoyed when they are not smothered in new oak flavors and weighed down with excessive alcohol. These two exceptional mountain sites give this wine its complexity and concentration.

The 2021 GSM is fabulous. Bright and effusive, with tons of energy, the GSM captures all the natural vibrancy of the year. Crushed flowers, dark red cherry, plum, lavender, spice and grilled herbs are all front and center. The 2021 is very young. I would give it time, but wow, is it impressive!
