Joel Gott - 815 Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 375ml

Joel Gott 815 Cabernet Sauvignon in this convenient 375ml half bottle offers a masterclass in regional blending. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a smaller pour, this wine captures the best traits from six distinct California growing areas. Rather than relying on a single vineyard, the winemakers expertly blend fruit to create an elegant and balanced red wine.

The team sources exclusively Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from across the state. Napa Valley fruit brings complexity, while Sonoma County adds subtle spice. Mendocino provides deep color and rich fruit. Lake County contributes firm tannins and minerality. Lodi fruit brings a soft texture, and Central Coast grapes ensure crisp acidity. After harvest, the grapes are sorted, destemmed, and fermented in individual lots. The wine then rests for sixteen months in oak, utilizing thirty percent new American barrels. The winemaker frequently monitors the barrels to ensure perfect tannin development before crafting the final blend.

In the glass, this California red opens with inviting aromas of blackberries, plum, and mocha. These are backed by warm notes of cinnamon and cedar. The palate bursts with juicy red fruit flavors. A mid-palate of smooth, velvety tannins leads into a long, highly textured finish highlighted by cracked black pepper. This wine stands out by offering incredible depth and consistency. It is a highly versatile choice for your table and a remarkable value for any wine enthusiast looking for a premium half bottle.
