About Pax

Pax Wines, founded by Pax and Pam Mahle in 2000, solidified their reputation in the Californian viticulture scene with a daring focus on the untapped potential of the Syrah grape. Their wines, sourced from Sonoma County and Mendocino's cool climate vineyards, quickly gained acclaim for their rich, expressive interpretation of Syrah, propelling Pax as one of California's leading Syrah producers.

Over time, Pax Wines broadened their repertoire to include other intriguing varieties like Trousseau Gris, Chenin Blanc, Gamay Noir, and Mission, diversifying their offerings while maintaining their steadfast commitment to quality and authenticity.

Their winemaking philosophy adopts a holistic approach, prioritizing chemical-free grape cultivation and minimal intervention in the winemaking process. Their entire selection of wines is hand and foot crushed, fermented solely with natural yeasts, underlining their commitment to pure, unadulterated expression of terroir.

Pax Wines sources their grapes from numerous vineyards practicing organic, sustainable, or biodynamic farming. These include Majik Vineyard, with its distinctive peppery, umami characteristics; Alder Springs Vineyard in northern Mendocino County, known for its quality grapes; Armagh Vineyard, Bearg Ranch, and The Bench Vineyard that all champion organic practices and a careful balance with nature.

Other sites include Black Knight Vineyard, with its rich history and unique microclimates; Buddha's Dharma Vineyard, with its organically grown old vines; Castelli-Knight Ranch, a family-owned vineyard in the Russian River Valley, and several others, each contributing a unique character and complexity to the Pax wines. Their relationships with these vineyards, some dating nearly two decades, highlight the importance Pax places on provenance and the role each vineyard plays in the final product.

Pax Wines, in essence, represents a commitment to authenticity, quality, and a deep respect for nature's bounty, offering wines that are truly reflective of their origins and as distinctive as the landscapes from which they are born.
