Seven Oaks | J Lohr | Cabernet Sauvignon | Paso Robles | USA

Over fifty years ago, Jerry Lohr was one of the first to realise the potential of a brand-new wine growing region in the Central Coast. Having been raised on a South Dakota farm, he was blessed with a sense of agricultural instinct when it came to searching for the ideal location for his first vineyard. Combined with extensive research, his decade long search led him to the Central Coast and Paso Robles in particular. Now famed for its production of world class Cabernets, J Lohr continues to be family owned and operated. Jerry continues to be at the helm, working side by side with his children and vineyard sustainability at the heart of everything they do.

Aromas of cherry, cassis, and cherry with hints of light oak and vanilla coming through from the influence of ageing in American oak barrels. I also pick up some notes of coffee and cocoa. The palate is bold and fruit forwards; plums and blackfruits with hints of pepper and underpinned by grippy tannins. Approachable and hugely enjoyable.
