J. Lohr Estates Los Osos Merlot, Paso Robles 2020

The 2020 Los Osos Merlot is medium-dark in color with a ruby hue. Varietal aromas of black plum, black currant, and violet are elevated by a light barrel signature of baking spices and toasted pastry. The generous fraction of Malbec (14%) in the blend contributes aromatic notes of pomegranate and hibiscus flower while bringing juiciness to the palate, while the Cabernet Franc adds layers of cocoa and peppery spice. The mouth-watering palate transitions to a lingering black cherry finish.
