Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2012 Cuvée Réservée pours a deep ruby color with a slightly hazy, but mostly transparent core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with fabulous notes of ripe red and black bramble fruit: raspberries, Marionberries, licorice, red flowers, horse blanket, dried herbs, leather, and stony earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and luscious. This is a very lovely Pegau that is squarely in its prime and strutting all of its stuff. Drink now through 2032. — 17 days ago

Blend of Clairette (60%), Grenache Blanc (20%), Roussanne (10%) and Bourboulac (10%). Medium gold color. Aromas and flavors of ripe apples, pear, honey, apricot, white flowers, peach and bitter orange. Distinct mineral note on the long finish. Plenty of acidity and very firm structure. So much depth and complexity. Bold and rich. Outstanding! — 18 days ago

[60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 20% Mourvedre] The extra Mourvèdre in this cuvée vs. the Maclura shows with some wild herbs, gaminess and extra structure, soft Grenache redfruits and dark Syrah fruit also show, I prefer this to the Maclura, though both are quite good, glad I have a few more of each cuvée!! — a month ago

A zesty refreshing start to this blend that gives way to very smooth salt and rich olive oil finish. — 18 days 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… — 4 months ago
