Wine Review: This dark violet colored Cabernet Sauvignon from J. Lohr opens with cherry-cola and milk chocolate bouquet with hints of wet slate, pine pitch, and cedar. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and polished. The flavor profile is black currant and black plum blend with notes of cedar and fine stony minerality. We also detected some hints of tea. The finish is dry, and its moderate smooth tannins are very nicely prolonged. The Tasting Panel would pair this Cab with a dry-aged ribeye steak. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Displays fragrant black cherry and cassis layered with hazelnut and patisserie aromas from French oak barrel aging. Dark berry flavors saturate the palate and intertwine with well-tuned tannins and spice notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cocoa. Pair with grilled ribeye steak with rosemary and shallots, or porcini pork tenderloin. Also, $3 from every purchase of J. Lohr Carol's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, whether at your local restaurant, wine shop, online or at our Wine Centers, is donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
