$49.99
Description
Rhône grapes have found a distinctive voice in Paso Robles, and Ryan Pease works them in a style that leans toward freshness and lift rather than sheer heft. This 2023 bottling under his Paix Sur Terre label is built on a near-even split of Grenache and Mourvèdre, some of it fermented whole cluster, then aged fourteen months in neutral French oak so the fruit and aromatics stay front and center.
The nose is dark and spice-driven, mulberry and Bing cherry threaded with violets and black pepper, and it slowly turns more savory and leather-tinged as it opens. Medium-bodied and plush on the palate, it carries real mid-palate depth without losing its brightness, closing on powdery, fine-grained tannins and a lingering, almost umami savor. There's finesse alongside the richness here, and the balance suggests it will hold and evolve happily over the coming decade.

Expert Reviews
Based on 50% Grenache and 50% Mourvèdre, aged 14 months in neutral French oak, the 2023 Songs Of Its Own reveals darker Bing cherries, mulberries, violets, and black pepper. It's medium-bodied on the palate, with solid mid-palate depth, ripe, polished tannins, and good overall balance. It has finesse as well as richness and will keep for a solid decade. Drink 2025-2035. Ryan Pease continues to fashion some of the most distinctive Rhône variety wines in Paso Robles under his Paix Sur Terre label. The wines tend to play in the fresher, more acid-driven end of the spectrum (particularly the whites), but the best here bring fabulous aromatics, richness, depth, and balance. The 2023s are beautifully made across the board, and there’s not a weak wine in the bunch. (Jeb Dunnuck, August 2025)
Echoing my impressions from barrel last year, the 2023 Songs Of Its Own is 60% Grenache (destemmed) and 40% Mourvèdre (whole cluster). A dark, spice-driven, focused nose gradually takes on floral qualities in the glass along with an increasingly leather-bound, savory undercurrent. The palate is vibrantly plush with a staining, intense but ultimately bright finish framed with powdery, fine-grained tannins and a lingering umami quality. Beautifully balanced and impressively alluring, this is a lovely calling card for Ryan Pease's winemaking style. (Wine Advocate, October 2025)
