Vineyard

The J. Lohr Gesture Syrah comes from plantings at our J. Lohr Stairway Vineyard located in the Adelaida District of western Paso Robles. This Syrah grows on soil series 113 which is described as Balcom-Calleguas complex, on 50% to 75% slopes. Hiking up the vine rows is leg-burning and requires caution when traversing the steep, step-like chalk rocks. This part of Paso Robles is an ancient, uplifted seabed so fossilized that seashells are often found in the ground, even though the vineyard is perched at 1,500 foot average elevation. Weather at Stairway is ideal for growing Syrah. Daytime high temperatures are moderate at this site due to early afternoon breezes from the nearby Pacific coast.
