Carol's Vineyard, Napa Valley
Introduction   |   Arroyo Seco   |   Paso Robles   |   Napa Valley

Because Napa Valley's climate is much like Bordeaux, it is ideal for both Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Over the past decade, the gravelly loam soils of Carol's Vineyard in northern St. Helena have proven to offer truly superb growing conditions for these two traditional grape varieties. Grapes from our J. Lohr Carol's Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc are hand-harvested in the cool of morning, carefully crushed, and fermented primarily in stainless steel to retain the varietal's bright, crisp flavors. A small portion of the fruit is fermented in new French oak barrels for added depth, complexity and roundness.

The fruit from our J. Lohr Carol's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is also hand- harvested to preserve the intense flavors and colors. Blended with Petit Verdot and aged in French oak barrels for nearly two years, this Cabernet is defined by deep black cherry flavors and aromas of currants and licorice.
