Introduction

J. Lohr South Ridge Syrah Paso Robles 2021 is a vibrant and full-bodied expression of Paso Robles Syrah, showcasing the remarkable potential of California’s Central Coast for Rhône varietals. This wine hails from J. Lohr’s renowned estate vineyards in Paso Robles, particularly those on the region’s diverse ‘south ridge’ which benefit from the hot days that build fruit intensity and the cooling marine influences that preserve acidity and structure. Paso Robles is increasingly recognized globally for its Syrah, thriving in its unique microclimates and soils. J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines, a pioneering family-owned winery established in 1974, is deeply committed to sustainable farming practices and crafting consistent, high-quality wines that authentically reflect their Central Coast origins. The 2021 vintage in Paso Robles was excellent, yielding grapes with optimal ripeness, concentrated flavors, and balanced tannins, positioning this Syrah as a rich, savory, and authentic testament to J. Lohr’s expertise and the unique pedigree of Paso Robles Syrah.

Character Description

The  J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines Estates South Ridge Syrah 2021 displays a brilliant, deep ruby-purple hue, almost opaque. It offers an intensely aromatic and inviting bouquet of ripe blackberry, dark plum, and blueberry, elegantly interwoven with nuanced notes of black pepper, smoked meat, subtle olive tapenade, and a hint of violet or graphite. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied and wonderfully rich texture, with concentrated dark fruit and savory flavors that mirror the nose. It’s supported by firm, yet velvety tannins that provide superb structure and a long, expansive finish, balanced by a refreshing acidity that ensures liveliness and remarkable drinkability. The finish is persistent, opulent, and exceptionally smooth, leaving a lingering impression of dark fruit, savory spice, and the profound depth characteristic of a premium Paso Robles Syrah.

Perfect Pairings

This bold and expressive Paso Robles Syrah is an exceptional partner for a wide range of robust and intensely flavorful dishes, perfectly complementing its rich fruit, peppery spice, and savory notes. It pairs beautifully with grilled lamb chops, barbecued ribs, slow-smoked beef brisket, and hearty stews with root vegetables. Its full body and dark fruit also make it an ideal accompaniment to aged hard cheeses (like aged cheddar or Pecorino Romano), mushroom and truffle-based dishes, and rich charcuterie featuring cured meats like salami or chorizo. The wine’s approachable charm and structured complexity make it a fantastic choice for a casual dinner, a backyard barbecue, or for those who appreciate a full-bodied and compelling red wine that delivers immense character and pleasure, reflecting its Central Coast origins. Decanting for at least 30 minutes is recommended to allow its full expression.
