Good Life Guy’sWine of the Week:
2017 J. Lohr Pure Paso Proprietary Red Blend
A milestone wine for J. Lohr that harnesses our history with Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah from the region. Classic Cabernet Sauvignon with its savory notes are wrapped in the dark fruit character of Petite Sirah. Pairs well with tomato rice dishes like paella or creamy risotto. Exquisite with prime rib or a dense monkfish.  Blend: 70.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26.5% Petite Sirah, 2% Merlot, 0.5% Petit Verdot, 0.5% Malbec.  Learn more here!

Critical Acclaim: Wine Enthusiast 93

“J. Lohr continually produces lush and delicious wines that continue to define the Paso Robles potential.”

“This new blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec begins with strawberry, violet and baking spice on the nose, while the palate’s creamy mouthfeel carries mocha, cappuccino, caramel and black cherry flavors. There’s just enough tannic firmness to the lush profile.”

– Matt Kettman, Wine Enthusiast Magazine, Jan. ’20 Issue
