Center Block Ranch

2014 Paso Robles Red Wine

The J. Lohr Center Block Ranch 2014 is a captivating red wine hailing from the renowned Paso Robles region. This wine showcases a full-bodied character that envelops the palate with its rich and robust profile. The acidity is pronounced, lending a refreshing brightness that complements its complexity. On the nose, you will find intense fruit aromas, featuring a medley of dark berries and hints of spice, which carry through to the palate. The tannins are substantial yet well-integrated, providing a firm structure that promises excellent aging potential. This wine is beautifully dry, allowing the fruit flavors to shine without overwhelming sweetness, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
