Winemaker Notes
Pairs well with grilled ribeye steak with rosemary and shallots, or a roasted pork loin with porcini mushrooms and fennel.

Decanter
A little inexpressive on the nose at the moment, but the palate delivers vanilla oak, sweet liquorice and graphite layered upon an dark leather undertone. There’s a slight minty note from the oak, but it still shows purity of fruit.
-
Wine Enthusiast
There is a healthy dose of 22% Petit Verdot in this bold, juicy wine, rich in wild raspberry and cassis aromas and flavors. Graphite and chocolate fill out the dense, integrated midpalate, complemented by tangy acidity that provides structure and a hint of grace.

Wine Spectator
Distinctive for its elegance and finesse, with a pure core of Cabernet shaded by spicy, toasty oak and supported by fine-grained, earthy tannins, along with a woody scent. Drink now through 2028. 1,915 cases made.

Founder Jerry Lohr and his three children Steve, Cynthia, and Lawrence oversee one of the country’s most successful and trusted fine wine labels. With first plantings in Monterey in 1972 and then in Paso Robles in 1986, the J. Lohr team helped write the book on sustainable winegrowing on the Central Coast.
Today, J. Lohr farms more than 4,000 acres of estate vineyards in Monterey’s Arroyo Seco and Santa Lucia Highlands appellations, Paso Robles, and St. Helena in the Napa Valley. J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines produces eight tiers of award-winning releases: J. Lohr Signature Cabernet Sauvignon, J. Lohr Cuvée Series, J. Lohr Vineyard Series, J. Lohr Gesture, J.
