90 WE 2014
This Merlot is dark in the glass, with lots of oak, vanilla and caramel aromas against a black-cherry and chocolate-cake backdrop on the nose. Soft and chalky tannins frame the sip, where blueberry, vanilla and chocolate-cream flavors prove lush and inviting.
91 WE 2020
J. Lohr steadily produces wines that outperform much more expensive bottlings, and this cellar-worthy Merlot is a classic example. Easy-to like aromas of red-cherry compote, loam and dark caramel lead into a polished palate of cherry, rose petal and wood spice.

Description
2020 91 Wine Enthusiast 2019 92 Tasting Panel
The J. Lohr Estates Los Osos Merlot is medium-dark in color with a red hue. Varietal aromas of black plum and violet meld with the light barrel signature of baking spices and toasted pastry. A generous fraction of Malbec in the blend accentuates bright fruit tones and contributes notes of pomegranate and hibiscus flower. This wine is lively and bright on the palate and cascades to a lengthy, red-fruit finish. It's named after the slightly heavier Los Osos series soils in Paso Robles, which have proven to be the perfect medium for growing lush, flavorful Merlot. This wine has earned the Certified California Sustainable seal.
