J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines

The J. Lohr portfolio from J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines features estate-grown bottlings across California. Whites often originate from Arroyo Seco in Monterey County, with reds anchored in Paso Robles, plus a small Napa Valley site for added breadth.

The range spans distinct tiers: J. Lohr Estates and the J. Lohr Vineyard Series, a set of site-specific estate vineyard wines, mostly in the $25–$50 range, with some bottlings higher. The winery also crafts Cuvée POM, a Bordeaux-style blend shaped by Pomerol traditions.

Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay lead the lineup, joined by Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and a late-harvest Riesling.
