2005 J. Lohr Estates South Ridge Syrah
-- $17.00
-- VINTAGE
The 2005 vintage yielded an abundant crop as the result of intense rains in the winter of 2005. The vines bounced back with healthy, quality grapes for the year, with full, round fruit characters and true varietal expression. As our Block 15 matures, the fruit from this vineyard plays a more vital role in this blend. This year, the Australian clones brought a dark complexion of blackberry . . .

2006 J. Lohr Estates Los Osos Merlot
-- $17.00
-- VINTAGE
The 2006 vintage saw a return to below average rainfall for Paso Robles, and with it came smaller vine canopies, smaller clusters and smaller berries in our Bordeaux varietals. In the case of Merlot, we not only had a very strong vintage in 2006, but we also welcomed a significant amount of fruit from J. Lohr’s vineyards located along Creston Road. Finally, we were blessed with no significant . . .
2006 J. Lohr Estates Old Vine Zinfandel
-- $17.00
-- 2006 J. LOHR ESTATES Old Vines Zinfandel, Paso Robles
VINTAGE
The 2006 harvest returned Paso Robles to drought conditions– the third of the last four years. The low rainfall however, was helped by a warm, slow-ripening vintage with minimal vine stress. This mild growing season pushed ripening slowly in 2006, with optimal flavor development occurring in late September. The intensely flavored . . .
2006 J. Lohr Estates Seven Oaks Cabernet
-- $19.00
-- VINTAGE
The 2006 vintage saw a return to below average rainfall for Paso Robles, and with it came smaller vine canopies, smaller clusters and smaller Cabernet Sauvignon berries. The combination of these elements in 2006 made for excellent quality in all of our Paso Robles red varietals, but in particular, Cabernet was the most positively impacted. The outstanding color and flavor development brought . . .
2006 J. Lohr Hilltop Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
-- $35.00
-- VINTAGE
The 2006 vintage for Hilltop is one of the most exciting in recent years! Although we saw a return to below average rainfall--and with, it smaller clusters and berries--the weather was ideal, with no significant heat events after veraison, with very mild temperatures throughout the entire harvest. This allowed sugar, flavor and tannin ripeness to occur simultaneously, producing Cabernet Sauvignon . . .
2006 J. Lohr Late Harvest White Riesling (375ml)
-- $25.00
-- VINTAGE
The 2006 vintage in the Arroyo Seco region of Monterey began with one of the wettest springs on record, with rain nearly every day in March—indeed a record. This unusual rain affected bud fertility, ultimately reducing cluster numbers (and consequently yields) in White Riesling. The growing season started warm, followed by very cool weather in June, July and August with the exception of . . .
2006 October Night Vineyard Chardonnay
-- $25.00
-- VINTAGE
Coming on the heels of a large 2005 vintage, 2006 saw a return to a winter of average rainfall (which is about 11 inches in Greenfield), a mild spring, and a more typical Chardonnay crop. I also made a conscious decision based on a tasting early in 2006 to let our Dijon and Musqué Chardonnay clones ripen more fully and create grapes of greater volume and texture. Both the weather and cluster . . .

2007 J. Lohr Arroyo Vista Chardonnay
-- $25.00
-- VINTAGE
The vintage of 2007 saw very cool temperatures during flowering resulting in a phenomenon called “hens and chicks” in our Arroyo Vista Chardonnay. This is a cluster with normal size berries – “hens” - mixed with tiny (seedless or unfertilized) berries – “chicks”. Although the clusters weigh less, the flavors are intensified in the tiny berries. And with very little rain in 2007 and very . . .

2007 was a very dry year in Paso Robles, with the seasonal total for rainfall registering a scant 4.4 inches. Paso Robles was met with serious but short heat waves around the 4th of July and then in the beginning of August, the latter of which hit prior to veraison and had little effect on color development in our red varieties.

VINTAGE
The 2007 vintage proved to be another dry year in Paso Robles – actually, the fourth year out of the last five. These consecutive dry years severely limited vine growth in 2007, and reduced cluster size, berry size, and ultimately yields, by as much as forty percent. The silver lining, of course, is that the reduced berry size made . . .

2007 was a very dry year in Paso Robles, with the seasonal total for rainfall registering a scant 4.4 inches.

The 2007 vintage of J. Lohr’s Fog’s Reach Pinot Noir marks our second release of this noble varietal. Grown on cobbly, sandy loam soils in the cool, windy Arroyo Seco appellation of Monterey, Pinot here seems to thrive, producing tiny, deeply-colored and flavorful clusters.

2007 J. Lohr Gesture GSM
-- $30.00

The 2007 vintage was largely defined by a shortage of winter rainfall which was just 40% of normal. This resulted in intense fruit with 10-20% lower yields than 2005 and 2006 in general. Seasonal summer heat spikes occurred earlier than normal, before the fruit had softened at veraison. The daily maximum temperature exceeded 100 degrees only three times between veraison and harvest at these . . .

The 2008 vintage will go down in the record books as one of the smallest in the last quarter century.

The vintage of 2008 will definitely go down in history as one of the lowest yielding on record.

The weather then immediately returned to cool and foggy, but fortunately White Riesling excels . . .
