J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines Estates Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Harmonious and textured wine, with a lush and plush texture. The tastes of blackberry jam, plum, and vanilla are expertly balanced, meanwhile the light flavors of blackcurrant, cherry, and black plum add layers and nuance. A contenting finish, with a dash of earthy whispers and a vibrant pepper note. A well-crafted wine, suitable for sipping on its own or pairing with a variety of dishes.

Deep and full-bodied wine with a deep, dark colour, featuring pronounced suggestions of chocolate, plum, blackcurrant, cherry, and oak, even by a dry, high acidity and high tannins. The linger is long and satisfying, with subtle flavors of vanilla and pepper.

Rich, full-bodied red wine that effortlessly complements powerful cuts of meat, its dense touch and gentle smoothness striking a perfect balance. The post-gusto is a masterclass in complexity, with a rich, plush tactile quality giving way to a deep, inky sweetness and mild whispers of oak, leather, and sweetness. The conclusion is long and satisfying, with a slow, pleasing aftertaste that belies a substantial alcohol content. A wine that rewards slow sipping, this is a classic pairing for a well-cooked New York strip, with its smooth, full-bodied smoothness and rich, rich flavors.
