October 4, 2022 - One-hour decant through a screened and aerating funnel. Black currant aromas during decant. Very slight sediment in screen. After resting, wine was clear; deep ruby bowl to rim with a slight halo. Nose of cassis, vanilla and cedar. In the mouth: deep black currant, some allspice and oak. Medium-long finish. Quite enjoyable.

August 2, 2021 - Dark ruby color, full bodied. Blackberry, milk chocolate, ripe plum, charred wood notes and rounded tannins. Balanced acidity makes this very enjoyable.

April 6, 2020 - Paired perfectly with sirloin. Just enough dark fruit with a ton of bold punch.

February 26, 2020 - Less than 90 points, really? Getting blue fruits, nice mouth feel, seems like it is quite a step above the other J Lohr, about 93points if not more. Now that I gave it a couple hours, very nice jamminess covers the palate with balance, plenty of fruit. I am quite fond of this wine with steak
Tried two more bottles and definitely am getting bottle variation with more watery and less complex almost like the other 90 point ratings2 people found this helpful Comments (2)
