2015 Paso Robles Zinfandel

J. Lohr Gesture is a captivating Zinfandel from the esteemed Paso Robles region, showcasing the vibrant character of this exceptional varietal. This red wine exhibits a medium body with bright acidity that brings a refreshing lift to its profile. Fruity aromas of blackberry and raspberry mingle harmoniously with hints of spicy pepper and subtle oak nuances, creating an inviting bouquet. The tannins are soft yet supportive, allowing the wine's juicy fruit flavors to shine without overwhelming the palate. Its balanced dryness enhances the overall experience, making this Zinfandel both approachable and food-friendly, perfect for pairing with grilled meats or hearty pasta dishes. The 2015 vintage is a true testament to the quality of the region, reflecting the warm days and cool nights that contribute to its complexity and depth.

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.
