Leave the pretense at the door. Small warehouse winery intermingled with a few other brands, a custom crush facility and a wine storage business. Just putting out stellar wines year after year starting out as PAX and now evolving with a new winemaker into Donelan Family wines. Very personable staff and a hands on owner in Joe Donelan who spends much of his time calling customers on the phone to thank them for drinking his wines. – Description from outthere

A treat right now but has an easy 8+ years in it. Smooth and balanced for how young it is. Dark, fruity with a nice mineral tone. Great finish.
