Syrah – J Lohr Paso Robles South Ridge 750ml

Sourced from the sunny south-facing slopes of J. Lohr’s South Ridge vineyard, these grapes had no difficulty reaching full ripeness, and subsequently the wine is bursting with intense, dark fruit flavours and spice. It was aged for one year on its lees prior to bottling, providing additional complexity. Pair with pepper steaks or mushroom burgers. Tasting Note: Most of J. Lohr’s reds are cabernet- and merlot-dominant, but there are also Mediterranean reds, such as the 2013 J. Lohr South Ridge Syrah, a juicy and refreshing syrah that has minor contributions from grenache and mourvèdre. (Rod Phillips, nuvomagazine.com, April 6, 2016)
