Fun Facts: Pax and Pam Mahles moved to California wine country in 1997 to create a lifestyle that involved working with wine. After a few years of tasting and sourcing wine from all over California, Pax finally found a vineyard, Alder Springs, in which he felt a kismet connection. With the Alder Springs Vineyard site in play, the duo subsequently launched their Pax Wine brand in 2000. The couple made a bold choice by favoring the “untapped potential" of the Syrah grape. Their entire lineup of wines came from cool climate vineyards in Sonoma County and Mendocino. These wines were big, a rich expression of Syrah that went on to be highly sought after. As a result, Pax quickly became established as one of California’s premier producers of Syrah.
