title: J. Lohr 2012 Cuvée Pom Red (Paso Robles)
description: This annual study of Pomerol by the longtime California producer is a bit reserved and nearly austere on the nose, slowly revealing black coffee bean, tar, elderberry and herbs. Crushed herbs and bittersweet chocolate show once sipped, giving slight spice to the dense elderberry and blueberry fruit. It's still a bit wound-up, so drink 2018–2028.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
designation: Cuvée Pom
