J. Lohr Estates Description
78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petite Sirah, 5% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc aged for 12 months in 60-gallon American oak barrels, 18% new wood.
The main source for our J. Lohr Estates Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon is our estate vineyards located directly opposite our J. Lohr Paso Robles Wine Center and at two newer sites just to the north, at the J. Lohr Sinclair and J. Lohr Jones ranches. The Seven Oaks vineyard was initially planted on its own rootstock, utilizing some of the original vines from indigenous Estrella clones widely planted in Paso Robles. The soils in our vineyards vary from gravelly clay loam to limestone-based soils; various rootstock and clonal combinations have been used to maximize the expression of each individual site.
Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points
Damp earth aromas lead quickly into sharp yet ripe cherry aromas on the nose of this bottling. Likable flavors of black cherry greet the palate, as wet clay, cocoa, mint and mace flavors add impressive complexity at this price point. Best Buy -M.K.
