J. LOHR CABERNET SAUVIGNON HILLTOP 2020 3 L

Details

The Hilltop Cabernet Sauvignon is primarily sourced from the relatively cool El Pomar District sub-AVA in Paso Robles, where the J.Lohr Shotwell Vineyard is located. A lesser amount is from the J. Lohr Beck Vineyard, located at a 1,700 foot elevation in the Creston District. The blend also utilizes a collection of other small sites in the Paso Robles AVA. Blessed with long summer days of intense sunshine, our near 100?F daytime temperatures are followed by chilly, ocean-cooled nights in the 50s. These Ca bernet vines arenaturally stressed in the dry, often very gravelly, and sometimes lime shale-laden soils. Water is at a premium in these vineyards,enabling the viticulturist to fine-tune irrigation, resulting in the darkest possible fruit with resolved tannins year after year. It’s effusive with fresh varietal aromas of black cherry and hints of toasted pastry and baking spice on the nose. Dense and soft onthe palate. Elegant layers of black and red currants leave a bright finish. This wine has earned the Certified California Sustainable seal.
