WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
The 2020 J. Lohr Hilltop Cabernet Sauvignon displays trademark aromas of blackberry, black currant, and toasted pastry crust. Dense and soft on the palate. Elegant layers of black and red currants leave a bright finish, accented by spice and pastry notes from extended oak aging.
Blend: 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc
TASTING NOTES:
In its 25th vintage, this limitedproduction red sourced from the winery’s finest blocks in highelevation vineyards is still one of the best values for Cab out there and it tastes like a wine twice its price. Plush notes of dark chocolate, blackberry, and slate bring a rapturous texture to the forefront. Well structured, with dense tannins and fine acidity, this is a superb vintage; even in its youth, it’s sturdy and expressive
– Tasting Pannel, 93 pts.
Dried berry paste and light oak aromas show on the restrained nose of this always popular bottling. Smoothly integrated tannins surround the sip, where steadily rising flavors of blackberry and strawberry are dusted in milk chocolate and herb elements.
