J. Lohr can hang with the best of them when it’s hitting on all cylinders, as it does with this 2010 Hilltop Cabernet. It’s everything anyone could want in a Paso Cab, delivering layers of black-fruited aroma, sweet tannins and vanillin spice. This vintage is voluptuous yet structured and while it might improve over the next several years if cellared, it is beautiful at the moment. This may well be the finest $35 Cabernet Sauvignon in America.
