2020 PÁŠXA ROCKGARDEN ESTATE VINEYARD SYRAH
“A classic Rock Syrah, the 2020 Syrah Rockgarden Vineyard has ample meaty, bloody blue fruits as well as notes of iron, tapenade, lavender, and peppery herbs. Gorgeous on the palate, with medium to full-bodied richness, it has polished tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish.“

“Another classic The Rocks style of Syrah from Todd Alexander, and a gorgeous one at that. The 2020 Rockgarden Syrah delivers an inky purple core with a neon pink rim, and boasts notes of black plum, wild macerated blueberry, iodine, iron, smoked meat, crushed black olives, dried flowers, and a smooch of sweet baking spice. Meaty flavors, combined with ground black pepper, hits the front palate hard, but the purity of the black fruit shines forth on the finish. Todd’s wines always display this scintillating graphite quality from The Rocks, compared to that citrusy grapefruit quality that shines forth in his top competitor’s wines from the same area. Unbelievably good and highly recommended. Editors Choice.“
2020 PÁŠXA ROCKGARDEN ESTATE VINEYARD GRENACHE
“The 2020 Grenache Rockgarden Vineyard is slightly darker and richer, with more meaty Bing cherry, candied violets, orange blossom, and peppery herb aromas and flavors. A more gamey, exotic wine, it’s medium to full-bodied, rich, and textured. It’s another singular Grenache ”

“Always one of my favorite Washington Grenaches, Todd Alexander seriously knocks it out of the park with his Pasxa label. Showcasing a medium ruby core with a light strawberry-colored rim, the expressive nose absolutely impresses with notes of strawberry fruit leather, crushed green olive, potpourri, wet slate, and just a smooch of braised meat. A rounded and spicy mouthfeel pairs with a medium body, crunchy sweet tannins, and pepper finish. Give this another year in the bottle for it all to come together and be richly rewarded. Highly recommended. ”

2020 PÁŠXA RIVER ROCK VINEYARD GRENACHE
“The vivid ruby-hued 2020 Grenache River Rock Vineyard is all Grenache and saw 60% whole clusters and was brought up mostly in neutral oak, with 15% new oak. Incredibly floral and elegant, with gorgeous wild strawberry and framboise fruit as well as flowers, rose petals, and spice, it’s medium to full-bodied, ethereal, seamless, and elegant, with incredible polish and purity. ”

“Sporting a light ruby and blue core with a neon pink rim, the 2020 Paxsa Grenache from the Rocks District is a blue-fruited, meaty, and spicy wine that deserves some attention. It sees 15% new French oak during aging and approximately 60% whole cluster during fermentation. Notes of blue raspberry, wild strawberry, peppery herbs, ground pink peppercorn, dried purple rose petals, and some charcuterie tones pop from the glass. Acidity is in the medium range, and the tannins are sweet and well-integrated. This is another fantastic Washington State Grenache that should be sought out for your cellar. Better in 2024. Highly recommended. 2024-2032 ”

2020 PÁŠXA ROCKGARDEN VINEYARD MOURVÈDRE
“There’s a single foudre of the 2020 Mourvedre Rockgarden Vineyard, another meaty, exotic, incredibly complex, yet seamless wine in the lineup. Blackberries, blueberries, wild strawberries, white pepper, bacon fat, and other exotic notes define the nose, and it’s medium to full-bodied, pure, balanced, and seamless on the palate. It’s straight-up gorgeous. “

“I am blown away by the 2020 Pasxa Rockgarden Mourvèdre, with scintillating aromas of boysenberry, ground black pepper, violet flower, roasted beef ribs, Asian spices, crushed Spanish olives, and a hint of game to top it all off. The palate brings additional notes of dried cedary herbs and iodine to the table. Unbelievably complex and decadently delicious, this could be my favorite Washington Mourvèdre I’ve ever tasted. The phenomenal structure and balance come with no rough edges to speak of. High recommended.”

2021 PÁŠXA ROCKGARDEN ESTATE VINEYARD WHITE BLEND
“A blend of Marsanne and Roussanne and showcases a medium golden color in the glass. A cinnamon-laden nose is uniquely different than anything you have ever experienced. It quickly opens up to notes of crushed ripe apples, white flowers, honey-coated pear, toasted hazelnuts, brioche, and toasted cardamom seed. Rich and luscious on the palate, it’s full-bodied with a finish that goes on for minutes”
