Jerry Lohr is the king of Cabernet Sauvignon in Paso Robles and the Hilltop is one of his finest. Showing the richness that is typical of the region but with sophisticated nuances such as the note of cedar and graphite on the nose, the 2015 Hilltop Cabernet is a gem, especially for the price. With layers of dark fruits and spice and smooth, supple tannins, it’s a meaty Cabernet you can enjoy tonight or five to seven years from now.
