About This Wine

J. Lohr

Hill Top Cabernet Sauvignon

With 91 points from the always hard to please Wine Enthusiast and 93 points from the Tasting Panel, this stands out as a Paso Robles Cabernet. Sourced from three estate vineyards in El Pomar, Adelaida, and Creston, the latest vintage of this flagship wine from J. Lohr is magic in the glass and showcases beautiful fruit flavors featuring hints of spice and herbs. A light touch of Petit Verdot and Malbec adds a touch of flowers and minerality to the fruit. Paso Robles is quickly becoming a new California powerhouse appellation.

NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive Wine.

Wine Region

Paso Robles

California's fastest-growing wine region is quickly gaining an international reputation for its innovative and boundary-breaking wines. Located halfway between LA and San Francisco, the Paso Robles AVA in San Luis Obispo County has two main zones. The eastern side has a hot and sunny climate with deep, rich soils producing plush, fruity wines with sweet ripe flavors. To the west, the cooling influence of the Pacific brings a zingy backbone to rich Zinfandel and Rhône favorites like Syrah and Viognier. Italian varietals like Sangiovese and Nebbiolo are also favorites of Paso Robles grape growers and wine drinkers.

The 2017 J. Lohr Hilltop Cabernet Sauvignon shows splendid ripe fruit, cocoa powder, and graphite on the nose. The palate comes across dense chalky, and soft, with layers of blackcurrant, mineral, and notes of toasted pastry.
