J. Lohr’s "Pure Paso" continues its run as something unique in the marketplace, and the winery clearly shows wisdom in continuing to develop it. There’s a little Petite in the mix this year, and it seems to add some richness to the midpalate of what is otherwise a very pleasant blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah. The Cabernet leads, and the Petite Sirah shows itself in the finish, extending everything. It’s a bargain blend if ever there was one. Contains 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Petite Sirah, 5% Petit Verdot and 1% “other.”
