Law Estate Proprietary Red "AUDACIOUS" Paso Robles 750mL
| Vintage: | 2019 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Located in the Paso Robles Ava, Law Family Vineyards sits at 1800 feet of elevation, higher than most vineyards in the area. This gives Law Estate distinct microclimates in an appellation already known to have a greater day-to-night temperature swing than any other in California. Calcareous soils with high lime content make these vineyards the best of the best. John Crossland at Vineyard Professional Services, with input from the Laws and winemaker Scott Hawley, designed and planted the thirty-two acres of Rhone varietals in 2008. Eighty percent of the vineyard is planted in multiple clones of Grenache and Syrah with smaller blocks of Mourvedre, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Carignane and Tempranillo. Sustainable farming with minimal applications results in premium fruit. Jeb Dunnuck 95 Points - "The 2019 Audacious is another interesting blend from this estate that has tons to love. Ripe red and black berry fruits, toasted spice, chalky minerality, and ground pepper are just some of the nuances here, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a layered, seamless texture, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. I'm a big fan, and this knockout bottle of wine will drink well for a decade. The blend is 31% Grenache, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Carignan, and 17% Syrah, aged in 51% new French oak.". Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 94 Points - "The 2019 Audacious is a blend of 31% Grenache, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Carignan and 17% Syrah, matured 19 months in 51% new French oak. Medium ruby-purple, it has dynamic aromas ranging from cassis and blue fruit to tobacco, bay leaves and dark spices, and it reveals lovely floral nuances with time in the glass. The medium-bodied palate has a soft, dusty texture, seamless acidity and a fan of spice and floral notes on the long, uplifted finish.". Antonio Galloni's Vinous Media 94 Points - "Vivid ruby. Expressive, smoke-accented raspberry, cherry cola, exotic spice and floral aromas show fine clarity and pick up a mocha nuance with air. Chewy and broad in the mouth, offering concentrated red and dark berry liqueur, fruitcake and candied lavender flavors that show energetic back-end cut. The long, sappy finish features resonating cherry and spice notes and steadily building tannins. 51% new French oak." |
