2012 J. Lohr Carol's Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

Please join J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines in our effort to provide 500 mammograms to women in need, through our partnership with the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.®.

Research indicates that early detection and treatment are essential to combating breast cancer, and annual mammograms are an essential first step toward confronting this disease. J. Lohr will donate $2 for every bottle of 2005 J. Lohr Carol’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon purchased to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Join us in reaching our goal of funding 500 mammograms for women who would otherwise be unable to afford them.

2012 saw a return to warmer temperatures compared to the unseasonably cool 2010 and 2011 growing seasons. Our Clone 1 Sauvignon Blanc responded well to the warm temperatures and abundant sunlight, producing desirable Sauvignon Blanc thiolic aroma characters of passion fruit, grapefruit and boxwood. Hand harvesting commenced with sugars below 23° Brix, and was completed in two picks, on August 25th and 30th, capturing the wonderful, yet fleeting, passion fruit aromas of Sauvignon Blanc.
