J. Lohr 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, Carol's Vyd., St. Helena, Napa Valley |
|
Founded more than three decades ago by Jerry Lohr, J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines crafts an array of acclaimed wines from estate grapes. Know primarily for their Central Coast wines, this Cab is from their Napa Valley vineyard in St. Helena, prime terroir for Cabernet. Well-drained, gravelly, sandy loam soil and ideal conditions bring concentrated ripe fruit. The Caberent is blended with some Petit Verdot and aged in French oak barrels for 18 months. Wine Enthusiast Magazine scored it 92 points saying "Good results almost always occur when J. Lohr, most of whose red wines come from Paso Robles, uses Cabernet Sauvignon from this Napa Valley vineyard. The 2009 is the best effort yet: It’s very rich in black currant flavor, yet it is perfectly balanced, with fine acidity and smooth tannins. Drink this lovely wine now and over the next six years."
