Introduction:
The 2022 Joel Gott 815 Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold and approachable California red, crafted to showcase structure, ripeness, and regional balance. It’s a reliable crowd-pleaser with broad appeal.
Terrior:
A blend of fruit from Napa Valley, Sonoma, Lake County, Mendocino, Lodi, and the Central Coast. Each region contributes distinctive character—complexity from Napa, spice from Sonoma, minerality from Lake County, and freshness from the coast. The result is a layered, versatile Cabernet.
Appearance:
Deep garnet with opaque core and purple edges, showing richness and youthful vibrancy.
Nose:
Ripe blackberry, raspberry, and black cherry aromas with accents of mocha, cinnamon, vanilla, and toasted oak. Subtle spice and a hint of dried herbs add complexity.
Palate:
Full-bodied, with round, plush tannins and generous fruit. Black cherry and plum lead the profile, supported by espresso, dark chocolate, and a touch of black pepper. Well-integrated oak gives smoothness without overpowering freshness.
Finish:
Long and polished—fruit and spice linger with mocha and soft tannins, leaving a lasting impression of richness and approachability.
Overall Impression:
A reliable, everyday California Cabernet with structure, warmth, and just enough complexity. Perfect with burgers, grilled meats, BBQ, or hearty pasta. Drink now through 2028.
