Beyond Category has amassed a serious following for its compelling power, distinct complexity and seemingly vast evolution in bottle. This Rioja driven beauty provides an experience of pure silk as the deep texture of Tempranillo drapes across your entire palate. Layers of dark fruit, fig, sage, fresh herbs and dark cacao, contribute largely to its obvious electric core of bright, bursting fruit. Graciano and Grenache dazzle and whet all of one's senses, for an insatiably long and unforgettable finish. | Law Estate WinesA Rioja-like blend...the deep purple 2017 Beyond Category spent 26 months in 47% new French oak prior to bottling. With lots of cassis fruit as well as notes of ground pepper, spiced meat, graphite, and dried earth, it hits the palate with gorgeous purity of fruit, full-bodied richness, and classic Tempranillo structure and tannins. It still has the fruit and opulence to shine today, but it's going to be better with 2-3 years of bottle age. | 96 points Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
