"Traditionally, we harvest our estate-grown Merlot grapes across a range of sugar ripeness. The early picks usually capture the classic varietal definition of Merlot, while the fruit harvested later adds depth and intensity to the wine. Clone and rootstock combinations, along with variations in soil, add complexity to our Los Osos Merlot, as does the introduction of recently planted Italian clones. We grow our Merlot grapes in Nacimiento-Los Osos, Arbuckle-San Ysidro and Arbuckle- Positas complex soils in our vineyards in Paso Robles, where these welldrained but relatively poor soils have chalky or gravelly components. The 2010 J. Lohr Estates Los Osos Merlot presents a mature red color with a raspberry hue. Ripe fruit aromas of black cherry and pomegranate meld with the barrel signature of chocolate and coconut. Our winemaking style and use of Malbec as a blender accentuates the brighter fruit tones of Merlot and leaves tacitly soft tannin on the palate." - Winery Notes
