Jeb Dunnuck: 94 Points
The 2022 Syrah The Bench Vineyard is open and juicy on the nose, with lightly gamey notes of pancetta, violets, and fresh mixed berries. Medium-bodied, it fills the palate with a snappy lift and fine but present tannins, and it retains its rather red-fruited profile, with a poppy nature and a hint of wild herbs. Drink over the next 7-10 years.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
The 2022 Syrah Majik Vineyard was fermented with whole clusters and matured for 10 months in used, 500-liter French oak puncheons. It has savory scents of baked plums, chargrilled meats, olive tapenade and saline. The full-bodied palate is riper and more concentrated than the nose suggests. It has powdery tannins, gently rounded acidity and a long, flavorful finish.
Vinous: 92 Points
The 2022 Syrah The Bench Vineyard is a joyous, explosive wine. A burst of dark red/purplish fruit, mocha, lavender and spice saturates the palate. This is an especially forward, juicy style for Pax. There's gorgeous immediacy here. The 2022 was done with 100% stems and aged in neutral oak.
