Pax "Nepenthe" Alder Springs Vyd., Mendocino County 2007

Hazy straw.

Subdued nose of pear, lemon.

Easy, sweet textural character cut immediately by mineral/acid edge. Extremely difficult not to like this. Nothing huge about it, though quite concentrated. Vibrant, long, finishing flavors of lemon and light almond. Could drink a boatload of this.


$40. 50% Marsanne, 35% Roussanne, 15% Viognier. 14.9% alcohol.
