Winemaker Notes
J. Lohr Cuvée St. E captures the savory side of the Bordeaux varieties. Sophisticated blueberry and raspberry compote aromas mingle with wild sage, cacao nib, and espresso. On the palate, fresh plum and black cherry flavors wrap around a dusty tannin core leaving a long, pleasing finish.
A perfect pairing for filet mignon with a shallot-cream sauce or Osso Bucco (braised veal shanks) over a bed of polenta.
Blend: 66% Cabernet Franc, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot

This ode to St. Emilion is quite dense and oaky on the nose, offering caramel, cassis and berry sauce aromas. The tannins are expertly managed on the palate, giving texture the anise-tinged blackberry flavors.
91James Suckling
Sweet plums, mulberries, bark, violets and sweet spices on the nose, following through to a full body with plush tannins and character. Plentiful and rich, with creamy berries and sweet oak spices blending on the mid-palate. Clean finish. Drink or hold.
