The first vintage of the J. Lohr Signature Cabernet Sauvignon was created to honor founder Jerry Lohr’s 80th birthday. Winemaker Jeff Meier considers it the most limited, high quality wine they have ever created. The 2018 is a very impressive wine with opaque black ruby color combined with rich blackberry, blueberry fruit with dark chocolate, baking spices and a high note of orange zest. It is dense yet supple with smooth as velvet tannins. It is quite pleasant to drink now, but will continue to develop for several years to come.
