Tasting notes
The 2013 Syrah Griffins Lair Vineyard is another utterly compelling, vivid wine. Dark red plum, pomegranate, blood orange exotic spices infuse the mid palate, followed by wilder, gamier notes that develop over time. A blast of ripe red cherry, smoke, game and cured meats puts an exclamation point on this striking Syrah from Pax Wine Cellars. Precise and nuanced, but with tons of intensity, the Griffin's Lair is a total knock-out. Don't miss it.

Pax's 2013 Syrah Griffin's Lair is so distinctive. Iron, blood, game, savory herbs and a host of ferrous notes make a strong opening statement. Powerful, rich and explosive, the 2013 is endowed with depth, and more importantly, pedigree to burn. This is another compelling Syrah from Pax.
The 2013 Griffin’s Lair Vineyard, again with 100% stems, was primary with damp earth, pepper, meat and black cherry and blackcurrant fruit.
