Josh Cellars is a negociant brand, so we don’t own a winery or any vineyards, much like some of the world’s greatest chateaux in Bordeaux & Burgundy. We do, however, work with California’s best growers to build a superior wine blend. Our winemaker spent over a decade making sparkling wine at one of the world’s largest and most prestigious champagne houses, where blending distinct lots is essential to making great wine. Nose experiences make him uniquely qualified to source and assemble wine blends of great character and complexity, in the signature Josh Cellars style: fruit-forward and rich, with approachable tannins and a long finish.
Vintage Notes:
Cool, moderate growing conditions were the hallmark of the 2017 California harvest with even maturities and concentrated favor development reaching optimal levels.
Wine Profile:
Appearance: Beautiful dark cherry red with youthful purple hues in color.
Nose: Rich and complex with notes of blackberry, dark chocolate, vanilla, coee, and sweet burnt toee.
Palate: Bourbon barrel aging imparts notes of vanilla, brown spice, and caramel, which blend harmoniously with flavors of ripe plum, cranberry, and hints of barbequed meats. Tannins are rustic and robust.
