2022 Josh Cellars - Cabernet Sauvignon (750ml)
Josh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon North Coast blends fruit from Sonoma, Lake, and Mendocino counties to deliver a wine that's fruit-forward yet anchored by real structure. Grapes from Lake County's Red Hills AVA benefit from wide day-night temperature swings that promote balanced ripening and layered flavors, while Mendocino's cooler coastal sites contribute finesse and lively acidity. Under the guidance of winemaker Wayne Donaldson, this Cabernet embodies the brand's approachable character while standing up to a casual dinner table.
The wine opens with rich dark cherry and blackcurrant aromas, layered with mocha and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, plum and black cherry flavors mingle with hints of nutmeg and vanilla, leading to a long, smooth finish with gentle tannins.
This Cabernet suits casual gatherings, pairing nicely with burgers, barbecue ribs, or a wedge of aged cheddar.
