Note di degustazione
The 2020 Aspire is more Syrah-dominated and has ripe plum and blackberry-like fruit as well as classic notes of peppered meat, leather, and dried herbs, with a kiss of subtle chocolaty oak. It too is full-bodied, has a round, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. The blend is 83% Syrah and 17% Grenache aged 22 months in 75% new French oak. Located high up in the hills west of Paso Robles, Law Estate Wines are made by Philipp Pfunder. These are classic Paso Robles Rhône blends that bring substantial richness and depth yet still manage to remain beautifully balanced and light on their feet, which is the magic of these limestone hills of the region. They’ve done well in 2020, and the 2021s are absolutely sensational wines.

A beguiling blend of black currants, earth tones, ashen stones and savory olive are complicated by dark chocolate as the 2020 Aspire opens in the glass. This is wonderfully pure and energetic in feel, with vividly ripe red and black fruits accelerated by juicy acidity. It leaves a lingering concentration and a bitter twang as grippy tannins tug at the palate. Aspire, a blend of 83% Syrah and 17% Grenache, is more approachable in the 2020 vintage yet still wonderfully balanced and potent.
The 2020 Aspire is a blend of 83% Syrah and 17% Grenache aged in 57% new French oak. Deep ruby-purple, it has intense aromas of cassis, clove, milk chocolate and thyme, unfurling as it spends time in the glass. The full-bodied palate has a dense core of fruit and generous new oak spices with a chalky, fresh frame and long, spicy finish.
