Law Estate Wines, 'Beguiling,' Paso Robles, California, 2022

Overview of the Wine
Why are we ‘Here’? One, we have long had a passion for Rhone inspired blends. Two, Paso Robles is ‘America’s Rhone’. Those parts were easy. Our mantra was to find a vineyard site that could produce ultra-premium, limited production, Rhone and Priorat style wines that would be a true expression of the site. After two years of evaluating many potential sites (almost to exasperation), we finally found our Holy Grail. The analysis of 42 soil pits on this site revealed coveted limestone with low vigor soils. This, combined with the high elevation and steep slopes, was the unique and remarkable property that would produce the premium fruit we desired. Critical to our goal is a winery that can manifest the quality of the terrific fruit and create a world-class wine. We also believe that the Tasting Room should be an environment much like your home living room, where you can relax with friends and family while enjoying our Law Estate wines. As we continue to showcase and share the best that our estate has to offer, we will always be honored to have you joining us in the adventure.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
 Aged for 19 months in 49% new French oak, with portions in Foudre and concrete egg, the wine develops a beautiful texture and integration of flavor. The nose offers notes of strawberry preserve, raspberry, and red currant, delicate floral tones and a whisper of whole-cluster spice. Grenache takes the lead with its bright red fruit and vibrant energy, while Syrah brings a grounding layer of peppery spice and subtle dark fruit. Every Grenache block on the property, featuring five clones of French and Spanish origin adds a unique character, layering the wine with complexity and finesse. Clone 470 Syrah enhances the wine’s aromatic lift with red fruit spice, while darker, more brooding elements from the two other clones of Syrah, 174 and 877 add depth. On the palate, a medium-plus weight, driven by lively acidity and vivid flavors of raspberry, pomegranate, and red currant. The structure reveals fine, powdery tannins framing a juicy, mouthwatering core that revives the palate with every visit.
