Here are some of the beautiful new Pasxa wines.

Pasxa

March 11, 2025

Today we share an electric brand out of the Walla Walla Valley. Pášxa wines captures the essence of great fruit sourced from The Rocks District of Milton- Freewater. The Pášxa wines were a huge hit right out of the gate, and back in their inaugural 2018 vintage they focused on River Rock Vineyard fruit. They now have an estate program with the 2020 purchase of ‘Rockgarden Vineyard.’ This is a huge development for this program. Soon after additional blocks at the estate ‘Petros Vineyard’ in the Rocks AVA were planted and will continue to be added to this program.

I have absolutely loved the Pášxa wines. I was blown away with the 2022 Pasxa ‘White Blend’ White Wine (OB, 96) which is dense, unctuous and marvelously stony. Just as good is the incredible 2021 Pasxa ‘Rockgarden Estate’ Syrah (OB, 96) which has plenty of depth and a smooth texture. I love the flavor range in all of these wines. Learn more about this truly thrilling newer project at pasxa.com Here are the downright killer new wines by Pášxa.

2023 Pasxa ‘White Blend’ White Wine- The 2022 ‘White Blend’ combines near equal parts Marsanne and Roussanne. This takes on awesome aromatics of apricot and green papaya with pie crust and cantaloupe notes. The palate is dense and viscous with serious nerve and marvelous stony undertones. Full-bodied and delicious, enjoy this heady Rhone-inspired wine now and over the next eight years. Drink 2025-2032- 96

2022 Pasxa ‘Rockgarden Estate’ Grenache- A really good wine from this slightly cooler vintage, the 2022 Pasxa ‘Rockgarden Estate’ Grenache opens with bay leaf and gorgeous red fruits on the nose alongside red rose petals and shades of cardamom. The palate is loaded with bright red fruits with a silky texture and marvelous stony essence. With more air the Umami elements really begin to shine, as this is already drinking really well at the three year mark. Drink 2025-2032- 95

2022 Pasxa ‘River Rock Vineyard’ Grenache- The 2022 ‘River Rock Vineyard’ Grenache stands translucent in the glass, opening with smoldering stones and ash notes on the nose alongside shades of linzer torte and cran-pomegranate. The palate is silky and refined with a smooth mouthfeel and great sense of tension, salinity and stony essence. Drinking marvelously right now, watch this evolve over the next ten years. Drink 2025-2035- 95

2022 Pasxa ‘Rockgarden Estate’ Mourvedre- Translucent in the glass, the gorgeous 2022 Pasxa ‘Rockgarden Estate’ Mourvedre is a great showing from this year that saw a relatively late harvest. A waft of smoldering stones greets you on the nose alongside black truffle shavings, Nori and bright red fruits. The palate is wonderfully stony and intense, with a smooth mouthfeel and beautiful tension that runs through a core of red and dark fruits, with bergamot accents. Enjoy now and over the next eight to ten years. Drink 2025-2033- 95

2022 Pasxa ‘Rockgarden Estate’ Syrah- A great wine from 2022, the Pasxa ‘Rockgarden Estate’ Syrah opens with a delightful bouquet of Mandarin orange zest alongside wet rock, soy sauce and shades of red currant compote. The palate is marvelously stony and intense, with a silky mouthfeel throughout the drinking experience. Absolutely no need to cellar this beautiful wine. Drink 2025-2032- 96
