J. Lohr Cabernet Sauvignon "SIGNATURE" Paso Robles 750mL
| Vintage: | 2018 |
|---|---|
| Description: | A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Saint Macaire, and 3% Malbec, this wine was aged for 20 months in 100% new French oak. Beck Vineyard, in the Creston District of Paso Robles, is a unique, high elevation site that sits at 1,700 feet above the early morning fog line. Its calcareous soils and cooling afternoon winds are perfect for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. The Cabernet from this vineyard ripens early with excellent color, purity of fruit, and phenolic maturity. Incorporation of Cabernet Franc brings freshness to the blend, while the rare Bordeaux variety, Saint-Macaire, brings density and a savory character. Malbec add structure, color, and a component of bright fruit. Vinous 93 Points - "Opaque violet. Smoke-accented black and blue fruit, oak spice, mocha and rose oil aromas show fine clarity and pick up hints of vanilla and cured tobacco with aeration. Sweet, seamless and fleshy on the palate, offering juicy black currant, cherry liqueur, fruitcake and mocha flavors and a spicy touch of cracked pepper. Deepens steadily through the persistent finish, which features interwoven tannins and resonating floral and cherry notes. This wine was raised in all new French oak and wears it well." |
