J Lohr Los Osos Merlot Paso Robles 2018
- Country USA
- Region San Luis Obispo County, CA
- Case size 12 / 75cl
- Bright fruit flavors with supple tannins upon release, but will evolve pleasingly over the next 5 to 7 years
- 12 months in barrel with 15% new oak
- A wine with just the right touch of sweet oak and gentle tannins for pairing with anything off the grill.
- We grow our Merlot grapes in the moderately cool El Pomar District of Paso Robles, which is acknowledged to be the ideal area for this variety in the Paso Robles AVA. Planted on Nacimiento-Los Osos, Arbuckle-San Ysidro, and Arbuckle-Positas complex soils, these well-drained but relatively poor mediums limit vine vigor and support wine quality. Traditionally, we harvest our estate-grown Merlot grapes across a range of sugar ripeness. The early picks usually capture the classic varietal definition of Merlot, while the fruit harvested later adds depth and intensity to the wine. Clone and rootstock combinations, along with the variations in soil, add complexity to our Los Osos release, as does the introduction of Italian clones of Merlot.
