Josh Cellars
Cabernet Sauvignon
California, USA
This wine is medium-dark in its purple color. The nose is a jammy black-and-blue berry festival with notes of the oak aging it underwent - vanilla, cinnamon and cedar. The palate is juicy and full of cherries and berries. It is sipping very nicely, but the tannins are firm enough to welcome a steak or pork chop.

Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, blueberries, spices, wood, light vanilla, earth, cloves, peppercorn, milk chocolates and light coke.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, cherries, sweet cranberries, earth, spices, wood, vanilla, cloves, dark coffee, chocolates, bitter herbs, vegetables and peppercorn.
Medium finish with fine grain tannins and spices.
This is a simple California Cabernet. Not fully balanced and better with food then all by itself.
Better after an hour of airtime.
I paired it with Manchego cheese, crackers and nuts.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
$12.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of plums, strawberries, oak, licorice, spices, coffee, cola, pencil lead, aluminum and black pepper.
Medium bodied with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with plums, strawberries, currants, vanilla, licorice, cloves, bitter herbs, spices, green vegetables and black pepper.
Medium finish with soft tannins and tart raspberries.
This California Cabernet is simple and not very balanced, but better with food. Soft mouthfeel without enough structure, and a little bitter on the ending.
On the lower side of an average red wine, but not offensive either.
Probably past its peak, or maybe it wasn't stored correctly.

Corked, but not so much that I can't drink it if I hold my nose. Oh well.

Dark fruit. Full and balanced without the bite. I recommend double-decanting this one if you don't have an hour to let it breathe.

Seems very thin, unexpressive and most of all so typical. Oaky, fruity, a little chalky pepper in the mid palate I like before it ends more suddenly than a Coen Brothers film.
