2023 J. Lohr
Field Blend
Rain Catcher 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.
Displays abundant cool-climate aromas of wild raspberry, white pepper, wintergreen, and alpine strawberry. This Rhône-inspired field blend delivers juicy red fruit flavors with peppery spice and a pleasantly chewy texture from the whole-cluster extended maceration. Pair with classic chicken Provençal or wine-braised beef with mushrooms.
Wine Details
Vineyard
The Mourvèdre, Grenache Noir, and Syrah for this field blend were grown on our J. Lohr Rain Catcher ranch, which is the westernmost vineyard in the Paso Robles AVA. Abounding with native flora and wildlife, this secluded and rugged property is arduous to farm but well worth the effort. Longtime vineyard manager John Pierini and his crew practice early fruit thinning to one cluster per shoot to accelerate berry ripening and phenolic development.
Vintage
Fruit for this limited bottling was hand-picked from the top of the ridge, where berry sizes are extremely small but concentrated in flavor. In the last days of autumn 2023, we hand-harvested 17 boxes of Mourvèdre, 9 boxes of Grenache, and 2 boxes of Syrah to create this unique, field-blended, Rhône-style red. The grapes were fermented together; the whole cluster Grenache was crushed by foot and covered with the destemmed Mourvèdre and Syrah berries. The must was fermented cool, with a 3- week extended maceration. The wine was then aged for 8 months in neutral French oak barrels, to preserve its spicy aromatics and deep fruit character.
