One of the electric wine brands of the Pacific Northwest, Pasxa focuses on producing wines sourced from the vineyards of 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. The wines have been consistently great.
I really love the 2024 Pasxa ‘White Blend’ White Wine (OB, 95) which is very stony and beautifully-textured. Check out the 2023 Pasxa ‘Rockgarden Estate’ Syrah (OB, 95) which has amazing Umami character. Learn more about this truly thrilling new project at pasxa.com Here are the downright
