2022 J. Lohr
Cabernet Sauvignon
Stairway Vineyard
Released exclusively to J. Lohr Wine Club Members. A limited number of cases will be available to the public following our Winter Wine Club shipment.
“The nose displays pure red fruit aromatics, with highlights of currant, cassis, peppercorn, and conifer forest. Exuberant berry flavors fill the palate, accompanied by graphite and black tea notes, and fine tannins on the finish. Pairs curiously well with Chinese pepper steak stir fry. Also try with a mushroom risotto or eggplant parmesan as vegetarian options.

Origin
Adelaida District, Paso Robles, CA
Vineyard
The J. Lohr Stairway Vineyard is located in the Adelaida District sub-AVA of Paso Robles, on Peachy Canyon Road; it borders the Willow Creek District directly across the street to the south. This area of Paso Robles is an ancient, uplifted seabed so fossilized, seashells are often found in the ground even though the vineyard is perched at 1,500 foot average elevation. Only 5% of vineyards in Paso Robles are planted at 1,500 feet or above. Daytime high temperatures are moderate at this site due to early afternoon breezes from the nearby Pacific coast, just 13 miles away.
Vintage
Cabernet Sauvignon for this bottling was hand-harvested from Stairway’s steep, mountainous slopes on September 29th, 2022. The fruit was sorted and fermented on the skins for 9 days at a max temperature of 85°F. to optimize color and tannin balance. Prior to bottling, the wine was aged for 18 months in water-bent, medium toast French oak barrels from cooper Marcel Cadet (17% new wood).
