The bouquet is minerally; however, the taste is berries & plums w/pepper, figs, currants & anise. Taste improved when paired with cheese. This is a old world wine w/old world qualities. It is a blend of 5% Cinsault, 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 10%Counoise, & 10% Syrah.

This is a beautiful wine. Bouquet is jammy w/blackberries & cherries. Taste includes berries with chocolate, oak and minerals. This wine is 58% Cabernet, 31% Merlot, 6% Malbec, 5% Cab Franc. It is great now or can be cellared properly for several more years. I thoroughly enjoyed this wine. Additionally, the bottle is quite lovely. I highly recommend!

This is a huge wine. Dark garnet in color with a bouquet is dark fruit, plum and dark cherry with a smoky spice. The taste is bold, even chewy ripe with dark fruit, smoky and a slight spice. This is a meaty wine that was fun to drink. I paired it with lamb meatballs, the lamb and wine were a perfect harmony with each other! This wine would also be great with bbq, Moroccan spices and beef. It consists of 85% Petite Sirah and 15% Petit Verdot. If you like big, bold red, this one is for you!

Best J. Lohr Cab I have had. Ruby color, fruity w/cherries, anise and slight oak on back of palate. Very nice, clean cab. Will get better with age! 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Petite Verdot

This is a nice, fruity Cabernet. Compared to a Napa cab (which is what I drink most) this is a more fruit forward cab. It has a nice medium red color with a floral boutique. The palate opens with sweet cherry (but not too sweet), and moves through mild chocolate, cassis and some earthy flavors. It has a soft acidic finish that left a slight dryness to my palate, which I prefer in a cab. This wine is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The winemaker recommends 5 years of rest before it "calms down." At 7 years out I would say it has calmed down nicely. I enjoyed it and look forward to having it again. I did not have it with food but as a cab it would pair well with a hearty meal.
