Four decades ago, Jerry Lohr became one of a handful of early pioneers to explore the potential for premium winegrowing on Californias Central Coast. In the late 1960s, he began searching for the ideal location to plant a vineyard. Raised on a farm, Jerry understood the importance of climate, soil quality and location. His instincts led him to the Central Coast, a unique region with one of Californias longest growing seasons. Selecting Arroyo Seco appellation Of Monterey County for his original vineyard, Jerry planted his first 280 acres of varietal grapes in 1972. Ideally suited for cool-climate wine growing, these vineyards have become an acclaimed source for outstanding Chardonnay, Riesling, Valdiguie and Pinot Noir. Taking a lesson from the winegrowing regions of Burgundy and Bordeaux, Jerry understood that great Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon could not be grown side-by-side. With this in mind, he began planting Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and other red varietals in the Paso Robles region in 1987. Today J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines includes more than 1,300 acres of vineyards in Monterey County, approximately 2,300 acres in Paso Robles, and 35 acres in Napa Valley. From this world-class palette of fruit, J. Lohr crafts wines highlighting bold, concentrated flavors and a vibrant sense of place. The winery offers four tiers of award-winning wines focusing on estate grapes J. Lohr Estates, J. Lohr Vineyard Series, J. Lohr Cuve Series, and J. Lohr Gesture. In addition, J. Lohr offers a delicious array of flavorful wines under the Cypress Vineyards and ARIEL (non-alcoholic.)Contact Us For More Information
