Savory varietal notes of Cabernet Sauvignon are layered with the dark fruit and spice character of Petite Sirah. The bouquet of cocoa powder, caramel, and anise works in harmony with the black cherry fruit signature of this wine. Bright and focused on the palate with a firm and appetizing finish.

Reviews:

• Tasting Panel: Composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah, the second vintage of this tremendous blend delivers a rich, bright perfume of boysenberry preserves, cashew, and milk chocolate. Licorice, leather, and slate are indulgent flavors that add to the round body, with a distinctly satiny mouthfeel thats balanced by the sleekness of black-tea tannins. Power meets poise.

• Wine Enthusiast: This blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Petite Sirah, 2% Syrah and 2% Malbec offers aromas of black-cherry pie, toasty brioche and fresh mint on the nose. That minty element carries to the palate, where more black cherry and fudge flavors are wrapped in ample acidity and chalky tannin’s.

Producer Information

J. Lohr Vineyards and Winery is one of the largest wineries in the United States, producing more than a million cases of wine per year. Located in the Paso Robles AVA (American Viticultural Area), it boasts a large portfolio of wines from multiple AVAs within California. The company was founded by Jerry Lohr, who first began planting vineyards in 1972 the Arroyo Seco AVA in Monterey County, just south of San Francisco. In 1974 he opened the winery, and by 1979 J. Lohr wines were being distributed nationally. Expansion was relatively fast and J. Lohr planted new vineyards planted in Paso Robles in 1986. Today J. Lohr farms over 4000 acres (1600ha) of estate vineyards in Arroyo Seco, the Santa Lucia Highlands, Paso Robles and St Helena in the Napa Valley. It was honored with the 2020 Green Medal Leader award by principal Californian wine industry bodies for its commitment, since foundation, to sustainability. Despite its size, J. Lohr is still a family-owned and operated winery. Jerry Lohr has now been joined in the business by his three children Steve, Cynthia and Lawrence.
