About the wine
I tasted the J. Lohr Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles, California, U.S. I bought the split from Kroger and it was $10.99. The vintage year is 2021 and the grape variety is cabernet sauvignon.
Wine.com Review
Wine.com review says that this wine is dense and dark. They say that the aromas are black cherry and currant with notes of toasted hazelnut, pastry, and vanilla and that it is barrel aged. There are professional reviews on the site that give this wine 90+ points and says that it has a rich array of berries with a woodsy, spiced finish.
Wine Folly Notes
On page 88 of Wine Folly, it says that cabernet sauvignon has aromas of baking spices, black cherry, and black currant. It recommend to decant for 60+ minutes which I finally did! It also says on page 88 that the high amount of tannins give the wine the rich flavor.
Personal Review
I really liked this wine when I tried it. I think decanting it really helped and made the wine taste richer. I tasted notes of chocolate and dark cherries. I had it over the span of two nights and on the second night is when I let it decant and it tasted a lot better than the first night I drank it. The spice wasn't as prominent and the notes of the oaky/woodsy were easier to taste.
