J. Lohr 2008 Cuvée PAU Red (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Cuvée PAU
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: J. Lohr / Paso Robles

Mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, this complex wine offers layers of blackberries, black currants, blueberries and sweet oak. The tannins are smooth, and the acidity just fine. The overall impression is a little ripe and obvious in its appeals, but it does have a certain fanciness.
