Law Estate Wines, 'Aspire,' 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 22 months in 70% new French oak, offering a seamless fusion of power and elegance. Every clone and block of Syrah from the estate is represented, creating a profound snapshot of Syrah on the property. Aromas unfold with brambly blackberry, ripe plum, and blackcurrant, laced with hints of exotic spice and a seductive touch of smoked meat, adding mouthwatering depth and intrigue. On the palate, the wine is broad, opulent, and decadently textured, with rustic yet refined tannins that promise graceful aging. The oak is beautifully integrated, offering a delicate kiss of vanilla and warm spice without overshadowing the fruit. This wine is a study in Syrah’s muscularity and structure, standing in bold contrast to its blended counterpart, Beguiling. Its long, luxurious finish showcases hints of cedar, cigar box, and polished leather. Aspire is a first-class Syrah, mysterious, rich, and villainously good.
