From the winery’s high elevation Biodynamic-certified estate vineyard towering as high as 2,200 feet, this is a highly aromatic red with a perfume of chocolate cherry and new leather. On the palate, the grip is firm and dusty. Italian herbs, iron, and a taut acidity are platformed on a mineral base.
Aromas of Mediterranean herbs and blackberry light up the glass and correspond to the flavors on initial entry. Juicy, with a tart boysenberry-vanilla freshness. A dash of white pepper adds zip to an otherwise velvet mouthfeel. A superb blend of 66% Zinfandel, 28% Primitivo, 4% Syrah, and 2% Petite Sirah.
Impeccably balanced, with wispy top notes of baked apple, honeyed pears, gardenia, and vanilla bean. Lemon blossom and lime chiffon add creaminess to the middle. A hint of sandalwood comforts on the finish.
This blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Pinot Noir, and 25% Tempranillo offers an unctuous mouthfeel, slick and tart with red cherries in aspic, cinnamon rose petals, and peony. Red berries converge in a summer fruit bowl, dotted with white pepper, and scented with jasmine.
A floral beauty, packed with peony, violets, orange blossom, and red tea. Cherry pie notes deliver on mid palate. This is a bright and shining red.
A sublime white blend offering aromas of white flowers embraces the palate with a nectar of pineapple and peach. The sweet sensations dazzle through to the finish.
An animated white wine, with scintillating acidity and vibrant notes of gooseberry, seasoned with dill, saffron, and oregano. Light and breezy with a speckle of salinity on the refreshing finish.
A dedicated Napa Valley wine for J. Lohr, this vintage demonstrates opulent tannins that relay a message of elegance, from its statuesque build to its juicy mouthfeel and depth of flavor. Notes of coffee bean, plum liqueur, sweet tobacco, violets and ripe black cherry are expressive. Aging in French oak for 18 months is defined by the creamy gloss on the finish.
