To quote CEO Steve Lohr, “The 2018 J. Lohr Signature Cabernet Sauvignon is the culmination of everything we have learned about winegrowing. . . . It sets a new bar for Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon.” Aged 20 months in 100% new French oak, it contains 7% Saint-Macaire (along with 1% Malbec, which explains some of its brightness); the rare Bordeaux variety is known for its savory side as well as its color and density. Bold notes of cherry liqueur kick off a broad, generous wash of red fruit with an inner light; the palate is concentrated with notes of roasted coffee, sweet tobacco, and balsamic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"pipProdProReviews_item\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Review\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"review\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"sr-only\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e96\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\" itemprop=\"author\"\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToasty aromas of charred pecan, cocoa nib and espresso give a savory edge to the blackberry-paste base of this luxury-­level bottling.
