Why Seven Oaks Is a Standout Cabernet

Seven Oaks is the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard of J. Lohr, the Paso Robles winery founded by Jerry Lohr. Paso Robles — “pass of the oaks” in Spanish — sits midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, and its warm days and cool nights produce Cabernet with ripe fruit and firm structure. The vineyard, planted in the 1970s, is one of the region’s pioneering sites.

What makes it work on Carrabba’s list is balance: full-bodied and rich enough for a ribeye, but with smooth tannins and a lingering finish that will not overpower lighter entrées like Chicken Parmesan.

Flavor Profile: Dark Fruit and Oak

Expect dark cherry and cassis (blackcurrant) at the core, wrapped in subtle oak spice — vanilla and a hint of toast from barrel aging. The 13–14% ABV is typical for a robust California Cabernet, and the low sugar and roughly 4g of carbs per 6 oz glass make it one of the leaner drink options on the menu from a nutrition standpoint.

Structured tannins give it grip, but the finish stays smooth — the hallmark of a well-made Cabernet that has had time to soften.

Ordering Tips

Available by the glass under Sangria & Wine, and for dine-in only. If you are choosing between the red wines on the list, it is the classic pick: it pairs with the broadest range of the menu’s hearty dishes, from the Tuscan-Grilled Ribeye to the Rigatoni Martino.

Prices may vary by location. If you prefer a lighter red, ask your server about the other options — but for a traditional steakhouse-style pour, this is the one.
