It is my pleasure to share the wines of J. Lohr — a brand that has been synonymous with value in California wine. Beginning in the late 1960s, Jerry Lohr began searching for a great location plant his first vineyard. Raised on a South Dakota farm, Jerry had a background in agriculture and chose the Central Coast, which was an experimental region at the time. Jerry has created an amazing success story with his winery, J. Lohr. While J. Lohr has gained a nationwide reputation for rich red wines, their white wine portfolio is also has some outstanding values.
The wines sow good value and I really enjoyed the 2024 J. Lohr ‘Purse Paso’ Cabernet Sauvignon (OB, 91) which has great richness and Paso character. Learn more about this outstanding lineup at https://www.jlohr.com Here are the outstanding new wines by J. Lohr.
