Origin
El Pomar District, Paso Robles , CA
Vineyard
Local winemakers have long considered the cooler El Pomar District within the Paso Robles AVA to be an ideal region for growing top-flight Merlot. This limited release was sourced from Block 5 of our Creston Vineyard there. The planting material was an Italian selection of Merlot propagated from cuttings of the Rauscedo 3 Clone from UC Davis, via the Vivai Cooperativi Rauscedo in Northern Italy. This 5-acre hillside block at Creston features calcareous soil outcroppings and consistently produces the most remarkable Merlot in the J. Lohr portfolio. Aged 16 months in French oak cooperage, 13% being new wood. Only 116 cases produced. Certified California Sustainable.
