The high fraction of Petit Verdot in the 2013 J. Lohr Carol's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has produced a wine expressing chocolate and blue fruit aromas, with graphite and violet. Highlights of hazelnut and toasted croissant complement the structured and intense plum on the palate. A great example of a great vintage that is sure to show exceptional ageability. Excellent with grilled rib-eye steak with rosemary and shallots, or a roasted pork loin with porcini mushrooms and fennel.
