J. Lohr 2015 Cuvée POM Paso Robles
Named for the wines of Pomerol on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, this blend of 93% Merlot (from the El Pomar District’s Creston Vineyard) and 6% Malbec with 1% Cab Sauvignon evokes aromas of leather, blueberry, and dark chocolate. Aged 18 months in 225-liter French Bordeaux barrels and an additional 18 in bottle, this showpiece red is structured like a couture gown yet goes deliriously creamy on the palate with plum-coffee nectar. Not to be construed as too rich, it possesses balanced acidity and a finish with gravitas that’s tinged with black olive and graphite. 96
