J. Lohr, Paso Robles (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

 I can’t think of a wine that says Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon more than this one.  It’s full-on fruit forward with dense blackberry and currant fruit, with sweet oak spice and lively acidity carrying it all through a bold finish where the fruit remains in full force.  This is a very consistent wine year to year, which is a trick in and of itself, and it’s an achievement when it’s this good vintage to vintage.
