Pax Mission, Somers Vineyard

This 2019 vintage has matured into a graceful wine with light to medium body, showing subtle development after its nearly 6 years in the bottle. On the nose you’ll find savoury, spicy notes layered with bright red berries, hints of rhubarb and spring strawberry, and an undercurrent of woody nuance. The palate remains fresh and lean, with crisp acidity, peppery spice, a touch of umami, and a fine tannin frame that gives structure without heaviness. It finishes clean and quietly agile—a wine that balances drinkability now with enough nuance that lovers of interesting, more restrained reds will appreciate it.
