J. Lohr Cuvée PAU 2021

Cassis, darker currants, tobacco, and graphite notes all emerge from the 2021 Cuvée Pau, a textured, ripe, medium to full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon that does everything right. This is well worth seeking out and shows the quality of Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles. [Will evolve into early 2030s.] Score – 94. (jebdunnuck.com, Aug. 15, 2024)
