Tasted several vintages, I’m just not a fan of Josh! Deep Ruby with aromas of black fruits and pronounced spice. On the palate plum and blackberry flavors with pepper and herb spice, very acidic. Big firm biting tannins on medium(-) finish ending with oaky notes. Not my style, for a few $$ more try a Robert Mondavi, much better. Tasting Sample.

A light golden color reveals mild notes of orange and lemon zest. Both right out of the bottle as well as after a brief decant, the nose (slowly) begins to bloom, but the entry onto the palate becomes far more substantial than it began. Smooth and lush, the softness on the mid-palate shows some depth of character with a bit of creaminess that leads to an abbreviated but juicy finish. It’s perfect for picnics with chicken- or even fish.

Apple, pears, lemon, peaches and fig flavors. Lightly Oaked with just a touch of honey and butter on the finish. Eh. Not very interesting.

Nice, slightly buttery. Bit of an aftertaste.

Citrus, honey, and a hint of peach. Nice for its price. The hint of oak is nice, not overwhelming.
