Cuvée da Capo Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Syrah 2000
Not over ripe at all. Beautiful harmony with this wine. — 5 months ago
Sine Qua Non
Capo dei Putti Syrah 2014
Inky in color with a short purple rim. Not showing age at all.
Fruity nose, but not very pronounced.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, spices, dark chocolates, light vanilla, coffee, black pepper, earth, tobacco leaf and herbs.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 10 year old Syrah is starting to drink nicely now, although still very young. Rich, extracted and definitely in your face kind of wine.
Needs a few hours to open up. I gave it 2 hours in the decanter, but it was not enough, and unfortunately it finished too quickly.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
Big, bold and beautiful.
Robert Parker 96 points.
A blend of 90% Syrah, 3% Petite Sirah, 5% Viognier and 2% Grenache. Aged for 38 months in new French oak barrels.

Tasca D'Almerita
Almerita Brut Chardonnay
Very refreshing siting by the pool at Capo Faro winery. Citrus, yeasty, and a candied aroma….perhaps butterscotch. Crisp on the palette with a nice acidity. — 2 years ago

I’ve had a few Law wines and have enjoyed them all, but this bottle of “The Nines” was a total stunner. In a lineup of 16 bottles of Grenache (Andremily, SQN, Fingers Crossed, Saxum, Lillian, Alban, Pegau Capo, Prefert, Clarendon Hills, etc), this was one of the more surprising wines of the day (in a good way).
100% Grenache. Removed the cork for about an hour ahead of time. Undeniable Grenache aromatics of red florals, cherry/kirsch liqueur, black peppered strawberries, and fruitcake. As Grenache so wonderfully does, it has a weightless yet commanding palate…kaleidoscope of red and black berries, sweet jerky, and an interplay of both sweet and spicy spices. Doesn’t show whole cluster/green hints like some of the others, and it also doesn’t show overwhelming vanilla/oak tannin either. Elegant and delicious.
May have underscored this… — 3 months ago
