Law Estate Audacious Paso Robles 2013

95 points Jeb Dunnuck (Wine Advocate): "The 2013 Audacious is a total head turner that's made from 39% Grenache, 36% Syrah and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and is all from the limestone soils of the Law Family Vineyard located high up off of Peachy Canyon Road. Fermented in concrete tanks and aged 20 months in 228- and 500-liter French oak barrels, this beauty is locked and loaded with notions of kirsch liqueur, blackberries, savory herbs and dried earth. Rich, full-bodied, concentrated and sexy, with building tannin, don't miss this beauty! Drink: 2017-2027. (8/30/16)"

93 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "Bright violet. Vibrant, sharply focused aromas of black raspberry, cassis, Asian spices and violet, accompanied by subtle herb and mineral flourishes that gain strength with air. Palate-staining, spice-inflected red and dark berry and floral pastille flavors are sharpened by a touch of cracked pepper and show excellent clarity. Finishes on a subtly sweet note, with excellent persistence and silky tannins that add shape and subtle grip. Drink: 2019-2026. (Sep 2016)"
