This is from a block located directly east of the tasting room on Airport Road, and the first J. Lohr product to carry a sub AVA designation. It’s beautifully realized, showcasing Petit Verdot’s black and blue fruit character, supple tannin structure and finish extension properties. There’s some age-worthy stuffing here, but it’s a delightful food wine upon release. Try it with a mushroom-based dish.
