J Lohr Estates Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon, 2009

While shopping the wine section at BJ's I saw J Lohr Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles.  I do love a good wine from Paso Robles.  Plus when I visited J Lohr winery in May I enjoyed their wines.  This Cab was a must purchase and taste.  

J Lohr Estates Seven Oaks 2009 Cabernet ($11.50 at BJ's) is from Paso Robles, California. It is a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petite Sirah, 5% Petit Verdot, 2.5% Merlot, 2.5% Syrah, and 1% Cabernet Franc. What a terrific jammy nose of black cherry and smoke, with a hint of cocoa and coffee.  The flavor was black cherry and cocoa.  Smooth and balanced.  This is a must have! 

Winemaker's Notes:  Aromas of black currant, plum and black cherry, lifted by a bouquet of vanilla, toasted pastry and spice.  Highly complimentary to a wide range of foods. Pair with a rich lasagna, roasted lamb, or a London Broil.
