| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nSavory varietal notes of Cabernet Sauvignon are layered with the dark fruit 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.\r\nWine Enthusiast 93 Points\r\n\r\nAbout J Lohr\r\nWith little history or viticultural precedent, planting on the Central Coast was a gamble. One of a handful of early pioneers, Jerry Lohr was among the first to realize the inherent potential of Monterey and Paso Robles for growing high quality grapes and producing superb wines.\r\nIt\u2019s no coincidence that the Central Coast\u2019s emergence as a world class winegrowing region runs parallel with the establishment and growth of J.\u00a0Lohr Vineyards & Winery. Founder Jerry Lohr is one of the region\u2019s pioneers and has played a larger-than-life role in bringing the area to prominence.\r\nJerry\u2019s instincts led him to two regions located about 75 miles apart. In the early 1970s, he chose Monterey County\u2019s Arroyo Seco district, with its cool, windy climate and rocky soils, as ideal for Chardonnay. In the 1980s, he recognized the potential of Paso Robles for growing Bordeaux varietals, especially Cabernet Sauvignon \u2013 given the area\u2019s rich soils and dramatic diurnal temperature swings between warm days and cool nights.After Jerry Lohr\u2019s nearly decade-long search for the right place to plant his first vineyard, he chose a site in Monterey County that was to become the heart of the Arroyo Seco appellation. Jerry originally planted 280 acres in 1972 and 1973 near Greenfield. Monterey County\u2019s Arroyo Seco appellation has proved ideal for growing layered, complex Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Brisk winds and fog off Monterey Bay, stony, well-drained soils, and a lack of damaging fall rains all combine to produce grapes with trademark fruit intensity and balancing acidity. In 1974, Jerry unveiled the first J.\u00a0Lohr winery in San Jose.In the early 1980s, Jerry Lohr saw the potential for great Cabernet Sauvignon further south. Borrowing a lesson from the French\u2014that great Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon excel in very different growing conditions\u2014Jerry began planting Cabernet Sauvignon and other red varieties in San Luis Obispo County\u2019s then little-known Paso Robles region in 1986. With the hands-on devotion of an artisan farmer, Jerry tended to the vines while diligently working toward the creation and development of an adjacent winery and barreling cellars; J.\u00a0Lohr\u2019s Paso Robles production facility was opened in 1988. |
