Splendid upon release but designed to evolve fascinating tertiary notes through 2034
The inspiration for our J. Lohr Cuvée St. E comes from the Grand Cru wines of St. Émilion on Bordeaux’s famed Right Bank. These memorable wines are often composed primarily of Cabernet Franc. with accenting touches of the other accepted Bordeaux red varietals. We are given the freedom to emulate these great wines without the restrictions of varietal percentages, instead keenly focusing on the texture and complexity of the blend that nature delivers with each vintage.

Vineyard
Cabernet Franc grown on Block 60 of our J. Lohr Home Ranch was farmed by vineyard manager John Pierini and his team with the Cuvée St. E program in mind. This block consistently provides fruit of deep color, polished tannins, and the complex savory elements that are cherished by Cabernet Franc aficionados worldwide. Clusters were hand-picked on October 10, 2022 and sorted using our Pellenc Selective system.
