Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is a bottle for the person who keeps a few special wines tucked away: a collector, a newly promoted colleague, or a parent marking a milestone anniversary. Crafted as a tribute to founder Jerry Lohr and sourced primarily from the high-elevation Beck Vineyard in the Paso Robles Creston District, this limited-production Cabernet spends 20 months in predominantly new French oak, and it shows. Expect cassis, black cherry, and wild berries in the glass, with conifer, heather, and baking spice behind them. Then comes a full-bodied palate of blackberry, plum, espresso, and dark chocolate, held up by silky yet firm tannins. The finish lingers on vanilla oak, crème brûlée, and spice box. It can be opened for a celebratory steak dinner after an hour or two in a decanter, or laid down, since it is built to keep evolving over the next 10 to 15 years and beyond. Either way, it is a gift that says you thought about what they will enjoy, now and later.
Pairs well with
- Grilled ribeye steak — The dense blackberry and black cherry fruit and the firm tannins stand up to the richness and char of a well-marbled steak.
- Braised short ribs — Espresso, dark chocolate, and savory herb notes echo the deep, slow-cooked flavors of the braise.
- Promotion or milestone celebration — Its layered, luxurious finish of vanilla oak and crème brûlée makes it feel like an occasion in its own right, whether opened that night or cellared for years.
Questions about this bottle
Where do the grapes for this Cabernet come from?
