J. Lohr Cabernet Sauvignon Seven Oaks 2005
Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo County, Central Coast, California, United StatesNobody is resting at J. Lohr, the Paso Robles producer with the number one selling cabernet sauvignon over $20 in this market. Current inventory in government stores is a staggering 3500 plus bottles in 144 stores. That my friends is a sell-out. The 2005 continues down the toned-down oak road blending peppery, black fruit with bits of vanilla on the nose. The mid-palate is silky smooth and no doubt why it has such wide appeal. It's called a cabernet, but Okanagan producer might take note that 23 per cent of the blend mixes petite sirah (6), petit verdot (6), merlot (5), and 6 per cent syrah, malbec, cabernet franc and others. As usual, ripe fruit dominates the palate with cool tobacco, mocha/chocolate notes in the finish.
