J Lohr Pure Passo Proprietary Red Wine 2020
An historic, artful blend of Paso Robles cabernet sauvignon and petite sirah wines – two J. Lohr benchmark varieties in the central coast.
- Savoury varietal notes of cabernet sauvignon are layered with the dark fruit character of petite sirah
- The bouquet of cocoa powder, caramel, and anise works in harmony with the black cherry fruit signature of this wine
- Bright and focused on the palate
- Firm and appetising finish
Serve with Santa Maria-style grilled tri-tip seasoned with a simple garlic, salt, and pepper rub, along with grilled French bread, fresh salsa, and stewed pinquito beans for a classic coastal California feast.
This Pure Paso Proprietary Red Wine highlights J. Lohr’s house-style, which is acclaimed for its dense and focused fruit signature, coupled with a soft, approachable palate.
J Lohr Pure Passo Proprietary red wine 2020 is best from 2023 to 2027.
Overall, precipitation for the 2020 season in Paso Robles was on par with its 25-year historical average. Springtime enjoyed temperate daytime temperatures which allowed vines to have good flower bloom and canopy growth. Fruit set was modest, after two previous years with above average crop loads.
The healthy canopies allowed the vines to withstand late summer heatwaves with little desiccation. We started hand-harvesting Petite Sirah in the Paso Robles Estrella District on September 17th.
The harvest of Cabernet Sauvignon from our J. Lohr Shotwell Vineyard, about 8 miles south, started shortly after on September 28th. We began assembly of the 2020 J. Lohr Pure Paso blend in June of 2021, choosing lots that best layered the vibrant, savoury character of Cabernet Sauvignon with the spicy, dark, blackberry flavours of Petite Sirah.
