The Nines by Law Grenache

9.4

Pretty sure this was a Grenache so I need to adjust the wine that the system applied. Great gift that I just got around to try. Never had before but really liked it. Great body, finish and typical Grenache of which I’m a fan. — 5 days ago

Beguiling by Law Grenache - Syrah Blend

Wulf Losee

8.9

The 2019 isn’t aging as well as I expected it would. The limestone minerality that characterizes the Law wines has mostly faded. Sage and chocolate on the nose. Without the calcaire, the fruit and the thick tannins are fully expressed. It now has the consistency of a high-end cab or zin. It’s still very nice, but I miss the mineral astringency. I’m giving it an 8.9. I need to open another 2019 to see if this is a pattern or an anomaly. — 4 months ago

Intrepid Paso Robles Syrah

Wulf Losee

9.4

2017 opened 2024. Lovely! Juniper, rosemary and blackberries on the nose. Succulent black fruit on the front, but the tannic structure doesn’t let this wine become insipid. Almost immediately I tasted the high notes of the distinctive Law estate calcaire. Its tannic structure is full and silky smooth and full. High and low notes play counterpoint on the mid palate and the finish. Low notes of dark chocolate. Mineral high notes—flint and limestone—that continue vibrating on the extremely-long finish.

I generally avoid 100% Syrah, because like pure Merlot it can tend to be one-dimensional and uninteresting without the addition of other grapes. But Intrepid breaks out of the Syrah mold. — 2 months ago
