"Crafted with a commitment to biodynamic practices, Pax Mahle's The Bench Vineyard Clements Hills Syrah 2022 epitomizes the essence of the Lodi AVA. Sourced exclusively from the esteemed Bench Vineyard, its Syrah grapes thrive in fine-grained, sandy granite, and tufa soils, tempered by the Golden Gate Wind Gap's moderating influence. With 100% whole cluster fermentation and six months' aging in neutral French oak puncheons, this wine showcases a seamless balance of fruit purity and terroir expression, culminating in a refined 13% abv with just 12 ppm of free SO2 at bottling." —winemaker
