J. Lohr Cuvee Pau Red Wine 2015 Review

The wine label says that the blend was inspired by the wines of Bordeaux, but this does not come through in the wine. So if you buy it, know that it’s a big, full bodied red wine, with pruned fruit and sweetness from the very high alcohol. The heat coming off the wine is significant, so if you like your wine boozy, this is for you. If you want a Bordeaux wine just grab a Bordeaux, there are great examples out there well below this price point.
