Carol’s Vineyard lies in northern St. Helena along the Napa River at Pratt Avenue. Comprised of 16.4 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon (Clone 337 on 3309 rootstock) and 4.3 acres of Petit Verdot (Clone 400 on 3309 rootstock), the well-drained, gravelly, sandy loam soil and Bordeaux-like climate of the Napa Valley is ideally suited to producing richly textured, luxury-quality fruit.
The 2016 vintage of J. Lohr Carol’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon ignites the eye with its red and purple hues. Classic red currant, 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.
