The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1974 by pioneer Jerry Lohr in San Jose and later expanded into Monterey County and Paso Robles, J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines remains a family-owned and operated estate. Jerry's early recognition of the potential of Paso Robles helped establish the region as a premier winemaking powerhouse, renowned for its rich red varietals.

How it is made

The fruit for this Merlot is sourced from the prestigious Paso Robles appellation, where warm days and cool nights create the ideal climate for balanced fruit maturation. Classic Bordeaux techniques are utilized in the winery & vineyard to craft a Merlot with exceptional depth and velvety structure.
