Natalie's Score: 92/100

J. Lohr Los Osos 2020 (375 ml) is a Merlot-driven, dry, full bodied red with a dollop of Malbec added to the mix, and it's a perfect size if you just want to have a glass or two with dinner. The Merlot grapes for this vintage were sourced from the Creston Vineyard in Paso Robles while the Malbec grapes came from the Shotwell Vineyard. Look for bright cherry, pink florals and toasty oak spice flavours on this beautiful California red from the Paso Robles wine region. Drink or hold.

Merlot food pairings: veal Porterhouse, grilled lamb, grilled pork chops, Tandoori-flavored dishes.
