Law Estate Winery
Michelle R.

Law Estate Wines absolutely delivers a next-level wine tasting experience that will surely impress you. From the moment we drove in, the experience felt elevated--being greeted with a glass of rosé right at arrival set the tone perfectly. The property itself is stunning, with architecture that feels like a modern twist on a Frank Lloyd Wright design--clean lines, expansive glass walls, and uninterrupted views of the rolling vineyard-covered hills. After walking up the long staircase (worth every step), we were met with breathtaking views that made it hard to focus on anything else--until the tasting began. Peggy, our server, was incredible. Her knowledge and storytelling brought the entire experience to life. She shared detailed insights about the wines and the owners, from their background in geology to how they carefully selected this unique property. It made every sip feel intentional and meaningful. And the wine--wow. Easily some of the best we've had in a long time. Every pour was exceptional, but we loved it so much we had to take a couple bottles home--especially the Chardonnay and the Sagacious red blend. Already looking forward to enjoying them again with good friends and great food. This wasn't just a tasting--it was an experience. Highly recommend if you're in Paso Robles.

The rosé is so good. That was what they welcomed us with. You take the elevator or stairs up and the views are stunning. Covered tasting areas. You have a guided tasting and someone is there with you every step of the way. Most of the reds are very good! Out of the 3 we tried 2 were good! We got a few bottles of those! I guess the only downside is you can't try their top wines without being a member. There is no discount for being a member. The top wines are over $105 so to not be able to taste them before buying is very pretentious.

Law Estate was a highlight of our wine tasting adventures in Paso! Our host Nicole was so knowledge, attentive, curious, and personable! She was amazing! The wine was also so delicious, and what a treat to be so taken care of during our experience start to finish! The rose at the entrance was very lovely and then the tasting flight was one of the best we've had! The views wow wow wow! We took some fun film pictures and just relaxed by the fire and walked around outside for a bit too. We took some bottles home and we can't wait to open them and think about our wonderful time at Law Estate!

It was a slow day on Thursday when we came there for our 10AM appointment in early June. The tastings took place upstairs up a few dozen steps. They have an elevator if you need to use it. The interior design is modern with large walled windows. The screen by the large table is a bit distracting with a video that they had on, so when our attendant was trying to talk to us about our wine, I kept glancing towards the screen. Soph (first pour) was a stand out! There is a waiting list for the black label so it's quite extraordinary. Remember to gas up or charge your vehicle before making your way up here. It's kind of a loner in a rural area.

I'm not a member but got invited to the 2021 release pickup party and so glad I was. I wasn't familiar with Law and now I'm a big fan. I bought a lot (too much?) Law wine. My three favorites: Beguiling - the most approachable of all of the wines and not surprisingly the crowd favorite. Balanced with a lush finish. If you don't drink much granache, this is a good place to start. They say this is their best beguiling ever and it got 96 points from Jeb Dunnuck Sagacious - with approx 1/3 each of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah, there's a lot going on in this wine. (I think the official description is complex). You taste it right away but it has a long finish. I wonder how this will age but I probably will never find out because I'll drink it right away. Audacious -- this one snuck up on me. The cab gave it a bigger than expected taste but nearly two years of aging meant that it wasn't unruly at all. The wine I'd serve for someone who wanted to know what the fuss was about. 98 points from Jeb Dunnuck Aspire - this is their brag wine but it didn't move me. Maybe too young or I had already ruined my palette. I bought one to keep for 5+ years to see if I'll change my mind. The food pairing was very good -- kudos to chef Jeff. The standout was the mushroom grilled cheese with a dollop of blueberry. The law property is spectacular. Hang out on the back porch and forget about your troubles. It might feel a bit corporate at times but the family run touches still shine through.

little splash of rose upon entering the winery -- and i do mean LITTLE!

I had really high hopes of visiting Law Estate Winery. We went on a windy/rainy day and the views were limited. I thought the wine tasting was extremely limited (small pours). I hate it when wineries pre-pour wines in 1.5 oz and all the wines are pre-poured before you enter the room. The pours for the standard wine tasting are quiet small. I didn't think the wines were exceptional -- nothing really blew me away (I've visited 100+ wineries in my life). I thought the prices were exorbitant too. The tasting experienced seemed a bit lacking - no music, nothing. I just didn't "feel" this winery. I probably wouldn't bother going back anytime soon.

Add this to your list for a personal 1:1 tasting experience! Thank you Rene for her expertise and knowledge. We arrived at the gate to be let in. Beautiful architecture - imagine modern five star hotel in Arizona desert vibes but with winery view. We had the patio to ourselves and it was a beautiful experience. The team went above and beyond for umbrella set up and making sure we were comfortable. The Soph is to die for as their Chardonnay. Stop by here for an exclusive modern feel sitting right next to the vines!

The views are amazing!! We had the best tasting experience here! Addy was exceptional!! An absolute pleasure! She made it so fun and we learned so much!

Great ambiance! Renee was amazing, she made the tasting a lot of fun. No silly stories that sound made up. The wines are really good, and no pressure sales. They let the wine speak for itself. Renee, also provided excellent recommendations to other wineries and restaurants in the area.

Fantastic member party for Fall 2024 release! Bill and Terri Long
Bill L.

Attended member party yesterday and Law continues to produce some amazing wine. The food pairings were delicious and as always the views are spectacular. Listening to the wine maker talk about the fall release was awesome. We always love the way Addie makes us feel when we arrive. Spring will bring their first 100 point wine and I'm looking forward to spending more time at Law Estate Winery. Thank you, Bill and Terri Long

We were fortunate to visit and taste some wonderful wines here. The location and facility are beautiful. We signed up for their wine club but have to wait until early spring next year to confirm if they can fulfill our membership due to a lower than expected yield from their last harvest. They want to make sure their current members will receive their allotment, but they did allow us to purchase 4 bottles maximum to take with us. Their wines are delicious, and we look forward to opening them up later next year. It's definitely worth the visit if you can make reservations. They do not allow many visitors to taste at one time to allow a for a personal one on one experience, which is very nice. They have a beautiful property. Thank you for the great experience.

Quick Summary Was really excited about all the reviews of Law, so did have high expectations. The wine was decent (probably a dropoff since Scott Hawley opened shop at Torrin), facilities were fantastic, but felt slightly rushed on the tasting. Views were decent. It's 4.5 stars but rounding up because of how nice the facilities were Tasting- 4 stars Had high expectations, but the wine was good but not great. Our somm was very interesting and had great recommendations. My only complaint was the pacing and how quickly the whole tasting went. I get they want to sell bottles and memberships, but didn't get enough time to really settle down and get comfortable Views- 4 stars The views are decent as there are a few shots of the vineyard rows and the mountainside. It's not particularly high up the hill, so you aren't going to get the expansive views you would get from Daou (but still a much better wine experience than Daou) Facilities- 5 stars Pristine facilities and we were seated in a gorgeous tasting room. The cellar, tasting rooms and main building were second to none Bottom Line Decent wine and magnificent facilities. Not a bad spot to visit on your Paso wine tour

Reviews are largely positive. Visitors highlight the stunning views and architecture, knowledgeable and attentive staff, and high-quality wines. The unique tasting experience is also well regarded.

Unfortunately, it ended up being a bit disappointing for me. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and it wasn't loud at all, which made it easy to sit back and enjoy a conversation with my husband at a comfortable volume. The setting itself was great! Unfortunately, the food was a letdown. We ordered a $24 pizza that had virtually no flavor. The sauce was plain, the cheese was tasteless, and overall, it mostly tasted like plain dough. For me, it was especially disappointing because this was our first stop to kick off our vacation. That said, my husband really enjoyed the lamb, so there was at least one dish that stood out for him. Our waiter was great very kind and understanding and he was nice enough to remove the pizza from our check without any hesitation. I truly appreciated the customer service. Overall, the beautiful setting, relaxing atmosphere, and great service were positives, but I really hope the kitchen works on adding more flavor and seasoning to their pizzas. It's a gorgeous place, and I wanted to love the experience, but unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting.

She guided us through an incredible flight of world-class wines with remarkable expertise, sharing the rich story and dedication behind every pour. Her personalized touch and engaging storytelling turned a simple tasting into an immersive journey that we will never forget. The combination of stunning mountaintop scenery, phenomenal wine, and Lisa's peerless hospitality made this the absolute highlight of our trip. If you have the privilege of visiting DAOU Mountain, requesting Lisa Rader as your ambassador is an absolute must!

As luck would have it, someone had called out that day, and Will stepped in as their replacement. Normally, he works on the production side of the winery, and what a treat that turned out to be! It was refreshing to experience a wine tasting from someone who is directly involved in the winemaking process. His knowledge, passion, and behind the scenes perspective made the experience that much more special. We've visited plenty of wineries, and it's rare to find one where every single wine on the tasting menu impresses us. Torrin was one of those rare exceptions! Every wine we tasted was outstanding. We had heard so many wonderful things about Torrin, and after our visit, we completely understand why. Another highlight was having the opportunity to meet Scott, the owner and founder of Torrin. He was incredibly welcoming and genuinely appreciative that we had chosen his winery as one of our stops. What impressed me even more was how enthusiastic and hands on he was. This wasn't an owner simply making an appearance to greet guests, Scott was there to work! After returning to the tasting room with Will, we spotted Scott in the distance, hard at work crushing grapes in what appeared to be large plastic fermentation tanks. I'm sure I'm not doing the winemaking terminology any justice, but my point is that it was impressive to see the owner so personally involved in the process. I truly believe that level of dedication plays a huge role in the exceptional quality of Torrin's wines. Combine that commitment with passionate employees like Will, who genuinely love what they do and are eager to share their knowledge, and you have something pretty special. We ended up spending a couple of hours at Torrin, but time absolutely flew by. That's always a sign of a great experience! If you're ever visiting Paso Robles, do yourself a favor and make Torrin one of your stops. Trust me, you won't regret it. And if you're lucky enough to have Will as your host, you're in for an extra special experience!

He knew so much about the wine and loved how passionate he is about what he does. To our surprise, since we don't ever get a tasting like that, he stayed with us the whole tasting. That was really nice since as we were tasting we had more questions about the wine, about the winery, about the owners, and we also fell in love with the wine and winery. Overall, such a cute winery. If you are considering coming, you should go and to be on the safe side make reservations so you don't miss out in tasting their wine. We got a few bottles before we left, and can't wait to drink them at home.

Cat presence always gets extra points from me. We were seated on the large shaded outdoor patio, and we were the only customers there. It was late in the day and I guess the midday rush had all just vacated at once. Our server was really great at describing the winemaking process, flavor profiles and history of the winery, but the patio was completely silent. We took out a phone to play our own music and she commented that her mother did the same thing when she visits. Dining experiences need music! If they're aware of this, I hope they consider adding some soft music for a more comfortable ambiance. Wines - All of the wines here are natural, which not many wineries can claim in this area, and I tasted some very unique blends like nothing I've tasted before. My favorite was the Syrah, but the rest of the wines weren't really my style. Food - The menu is changed regularly and it's obvious that the chef enjoys putting it together! We didn't get to try the ramen that my friend raved about because of the new menu, but we loved the mini "street taco" tostada and the spam maki. I did think some dishes would have been better served hot, like the orange-glazed chicken thigh. This was such a cool, unique experience and it sounds like you'll never have the same experience twice! Would recommend to anyone.

My boyfriend was skeptical about sharing at first, but he ended up glad we did because the pours were a pretty decent size. They also had a wall of olive oils and balsamics that you could taste. Plus mustards available for purchase, but not tasting. The hospitality was fantastic! It was a rainy day, the tasting room was packed, and there was only one person working, but he managed to take care of all of us with ease. He constantly knew which wines people were on, and still took the time to chat with everyone about the wines and the animals. This wasn't my favorite wine of the trip, but we did leave with a bottle and also got some oils and a mustard!

It was a hot day, but we had plenty of space to stay indoors. We tasted lots of wine and found our…read morefavorites to take home. Much to my surprise, they have olive oil tasting, too! I scored my share of those, too! Bentley was a great host! We were taken care of by the owner's son who was spectacular! We found this winery via recommendation and so glad we did. We loved everything about it.

We discovered Ecluse two summers ago on our first trip to Paso Robles wine country, drawn in by the…read morereasonable tasting fee, the fact that it's family owned and operated, and that it's family friendly. What we didn't expect was to be completely blown away. The facility is on the smaller side without a lot of frills, but honestly that's part of the charm. The staff are warm and genuine, and you can feel their pride in both the winery and the wines they produce. The focus here is on GSM blends and other Rhône varietals, along with Bordeaux blends and varietals -- big, bold, and fruit-forward, but balanced enough to keep things interesting glass after glass. We had such a great experience that we joined the wine club before we left. We don't live locally, but the Ecluse Enthusiast membership is absolutely worth it -- especially with only a 6-bottle annual commitment. It's given us a great reason to make Paso an annual trip, and Ecluse is always one of our must-stop favorites. Since joining, the winery has gone through some exciting changes. They've built out a beautiful terrace overlooking the vineyard, and they were acquired by Thibido Winery. We were a little nervous about what that might mean for the brand we loved, but they've stayed true to keeping both labels separate and distinct -- and we've only benefited from it, since we now get to taste wines from both when we come for our annual pickup. We can't wait to spend more time on that terrace during our next visit. If you're putting together a Paso Robles wine itinerary, Ecluse deserves a spot on it.
