One of three of the J. Lohr "homage to Bordeaux" bottlings, this Right Bank styled wine is a fitting tribute to St. Emilion, showing aromas of blackberry, currants, saddle, dry earth and dried herbs. The palate is mineral driven, with dust and stone balanced by blackberry and brown spice that are already extremely well integrated and finishes long and complex. I’ve been very impressed with J. Lohr wines from 2011. A Platinum Award winner at the 2015 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
