Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon

Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles AVA 150 cl

The Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon from J. Lohr Winery originates from the renowned Paso Robles AVA, one of California’s most important red wine regions. The blend is primarily based on Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Petite Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Aged for 12 months in American oak barriques, it develops a profile of ripe fruit, finely integrated oak notes and a clear structure. Presented as a Magnum 150 cl, this wine shows particular harmony – the larger format slows down the ageing process and allows for a more even integration of fruit, tannin and oak.
