Winemaker Notes

The 2015 vintage of J. Lohr Carol’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon ignites the eye with its red and purple hues. Classic redcurrant, cherry, cedar and cocoa powder on the nose. The palate is full of fruit, and comes off ripe and balanced with enough weight to reward cellaring.

Professional Ratings

  • 92

    A hint of high ripeness adds to the intrigue on offer here, and, with the rest of this full-bodied, keenly focused wine clearly on target, there is a lot to like from first sniff to its polished finish. Along the way, its cassis-like fruit tones are aided and abetted by a whiff of dark chocolate and hints of root beer, and its near supple, moderately tannic structure adds just enough grip to give it drinkability over the next five years or so. It may not be a long-term cellaring candidate, but it is an expressive, very carefully crafted wine that is certain to please all Cabernet lovers save for the few who equate tongue-curing tannins with varietal success.

  • 91

    A big, bold and energetic wine that doesn’t pull any punches. But this has the ripe fruit and lively acidity to carry that style. With more tannic presence and less warmth from alcohol at the finish, this would rate higher. Drink now.

  • 90

    Blended with 12% Petit Verdot, this powerful red hails from a site along the Napa River at the northern end of the appellation. Smooth tannins support a juicy midpalate of raspberry and cherry complemented by an enduring richness of chocolate and toasted oak.

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.

Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
