Lohr Vineyards and Wines is the creation of Jerry Lohr, a South Dakota farmboy turned land developer who became one of the founding fathers of the Central Coast wine producing region in California. Lohr did extensive research before assembling land in the Monterey and Paso Robles regions on which he planted grapes in the early 1970s.
2009 K Vintners Roma En Chamberlin
We loved the complexity of this wine made up of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Syrah. It revealed notes of blackberries, blueberries, black cherries, earth, a hint of vanilla and had a very long finish. As big as this wine was, it was very smooth and the tannins were in check.

2012 Lauren Ashton Cabernet Sauvignon
Aromas of blackberries and black currants greets your nose well before it reaches the glass. A little swirling brings out nuances of cedar, vanilla and earthy notes. Full bodied, with plenty of dusty tannin this is a wine that will have a long life in front of it. Despite the tannin, the texture remains smooth, as there is plenty of fruit to keep the whole thing in balance. The finish is long and delicious. This will be hard to keep your hands off, but if you can give it a bit of cellar time, it will pay big dividends!

2003 Woodward Canyon Cabernet Sauvignon (Artist Series #12)
Right off the bat, this wine impressed with a magnificent nose of blackberry, cedar and a hint of spice. A full bodied wine with a smooth mouth feel, it had a wonderfully long finish. It showed everything AdVINEtures loves in a wine – balance, length, intensity, complexity and expressiveness. At 13 years old, it was only showing a slight fade at the rim and tannin was still present leading us to believe this could easily stay cellared another 5 years or more.
