Jerry Lohr is arguably the king of Monterey County wine. He’s built an empire out of this vast appellation along California’s Central Coast. The reason is very simple: J. Lohr wines, regardless of price tier, are always very good and always attractively priced. This 2012 Fog’s Reach Pinot is fruit driven and well balanced and comes in at $35, which is modest in the world of top-notch California Pinot.
