Reviews and Ratings

A perfect size for appies, this is the 375 ml size of J. Lohr's, Los Osos 2017 Merlot (with a splash or two of Malbec), full-bodied and delicious with spiced plum,, blueberry, chocolate, dried wild herbs, toasty oak spice and very savoury on the palate. Grapes for this Californian red wine were grown in Paso Robles with warm days and cool nights giving perfect, even-ripening and balanced acidity to the grapes. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
