J. Lohr Pure Paso Proprietary Red 2023

This rich, deeply concentrated Paso Robles red blend opens with an expressive and sophisticated bouquet of black cherry compote, dark chocolate, and dried violets, harmonized by sweet nuances of caramel, cocoa powder, and anise. On the palate, it is full-bodied, supple, and intensely fruit-forward, showcasing layers of ripe blackberry, dark plums, and black coffee. Balanced by a refreshing thread of acidity and framed by firm, polished tannins, it concludes with a long, savory, and appetizing finish accented by notes of cedar and black pepper.

Food Pairing: This robust blend pairs wonderfully with a grilled New York strip steak, wood-fired barbecue beef brisket, hearty venison stews, or robust, mature cheeses.
