J. Lohr, Paso Robles (Central Coast, California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

 Bring affordable elegance to the dinner table with a bottle of J. Lohr 2020 Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon, a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petite Sirah, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.  You will find berries (blue and black), cherries, a touch of vanilla and a supple texture among this wine’s charms.  Kudos to the J. Lohr family for its many praiseworthy wines, whose overall high quality combined with comparatively modest price points has generally set them apart from the competitors for multiple decades.  With its lush red color, relatively low 13.5 alcohol level, fresh yet reasonably complex fruit flavors, generous mouth-feel, satisfying finish and modest price this is altogether a wine worth seeking out.
