A tasty Cabernet that's aromatic offering notes of mocha, toasty oak and smoke on the nose of this red wine with a firm grip on the palate. Nice balance in this The 2016 vintage of J. Lohr Hilltop is a full-bodied and grippy red wine blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with 6% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc splashed in. Very aromatic on the nose, dry with ripe black currant, mocha, toasty oak and dark spice flavours on the palate.

From Paso Robles, California, J. Lohr Hilltop 2016 is a is toasty, smoky, full-bodied, mostly Cabernet Sauvignon that matured for 18 months in French oak barrels. Cedar underbrush, ripe blackberry, mocha, oak spice and smoky flavours on the palate with grippy tannins. Decant for one hour prior to pouring with a smoky, braised beef brisket. - Community Wine Reviews
