Descripción
Technical Sheet: Josh Cellars Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Josh Cellars Wine: Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Region: California, USA (with grapes primarily sourced from select vineyards in Lodi and Paso Robles) Grape Variety: Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon
Vinification & Aging
- Style: A richer, more complex expression of Cabernet Sauvignon than the winery’s standard bottling, designed to be full-bodied and well-structured.
- Aging: The wine is aged for an extended period of 18 to 24 months in French Oak barrels. This lengthy aging process imparts significant complexity, softens the tannins, and integrates the fruit and oak flavors.
Technical Data
- Alcohol (ABV): Approximately 14.5% (varies slightly by vintage)
- Serving Temperature: 16 – 18°C (61 – 64°F)
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: A deep, dark ruby to purple color.
- Nose (Aroma): A rich and inviting bouquet of dark fruits, including blackberry, black cherry, and plum. These fruit notes are layered with complex aromas from the oak aging, such as vanilla, toasted oak, cocoa, and hints of coffee and spice.
- Palate (Taste): Full-bodied and rich on the palate with a smooth, velvety texture. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated. Flavors of dark chocolate and roasted coffee complement the core of dark fruit, leading to a long and lingering finish.
Food Pairing
This wine’s robust structure makes it an ideal partner for hearty dishes:
- Grilled steaks, particularly richer cuts like ribeye or filet mignon.
- Roasted lamb or other red meats.
- Hearty stews and casseroles.
- Burgers with bold toppings.
- Aged hard cheeses like cheddar or gouda.
