Josh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

"Expressive in the glass, with aromas of blackberries, cassis, and a hint of graphite. In the mouth, the wine is packed with flavors - offering generous black cherry, espresso, blackberries, and a hint of saddle leather layered amongst substantial broad tannins. The finish is perfumed with toasted oak char and a lingering vanilla." —winemaker

"Métier Cabernet Sauvignon is an inviting, smooth wine with black cherry and plum aromas pouring from the glass. Flavors of bold dark fruits and charming notes of baking spice combine with a juicy mid-palate and pleasantly firm, dry finish." —winemaker

"Our fourth release of Cabernet Sauvignon under our Doris label was sourced from three, valley-floor vineyards; Bedrock in Eldridge, Orange Ave in El Verano and Warm Springs Ranch in Glen Ellen. Primary fermentation took place in closed-top stainless-steel tanks then transferred to neutral oak barrels for a 20-month rest. Our signature style is to age all of our wines sur-lie and after a clean racking we bottle everything unfiltered. We believe the lees of a wine helps to connect terroir and varietal character." —winemaker

"The 2022 DAOU Cabernet Sauvignon exemplifies Paso Robles. The nose is highly perfumed, showing aromas of black cherry, cassis, plum, desert sage, sandalwood and dusty minerality. Secondary aromas reveal notes of cigar box, leather, bay leaf and black olive. The palate is rich and weighty, offering generous flavors of black raspberry, spicy currant and blueberry compote with impressions of Bing cherry, boysenberry, fig and baking spices. Ripe, fine-grained tannins carry into a structured finish with lingering accents of cherry, espresso and vanilla." —winemaker

"Dense purple in color, this wine opens with aromas of dark red fruit, blueberry, black cherry, cassis and cola with a dusting of baking spice. The wine is velvety and lush presenting delicious flavors of black cherry and blackberry with undertones of coffee, mocha and a hint of vanilla. The flavors are complemented by lively acidity and fine tannins that lifts the wine suggesting a long life. The finish is long, supple and mouthwatering." —winemaker

"Cabernet’s classic aromas and flavors star in the 2021 Faust Napa Valley. Delicate violet notes lift the dark fruit on the nose—black currant and briary blackberry—layered with pungent forest botanicals, leafy tobacco, graphite, and toasted spice. The velvet of fine-textured tannins backs expressive red fruit flavors on a complex palate, both sweet and savory with mocha and minerality, juicy ripe fruit and freshness." —winemaker

"Color is deep red with a slight dark purple hue. Roasted berry fruit, juniper, sandalwood, cassis, and slight pine aromas. Palate is bright red berry fruit with a chocolatey rich depth and crunchy acidity. Finish lingers with dusty chocolate tannins and dense raspberry notes." —winemaker

"This is an exemplary California Cabernet aromatic experience filled with dried minty herbs and lavender. Blackberries, bright cherries, and plums, with hints of leather and tobacco, all intertwine for a wonderfully balanced mouthfeel. Sumptuous yet racy, polished yet spirited, delicious and gratifying—it is an iconic culmination in the glass." —winemaker

Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 4% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot

"The 2021 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon elevates the legacy of Liberty School, displaying a rich garnet color that foreshadows the experience to come. On the nose, vanilla bean, bright plum and fresh leather nuances set the stage for a robust palate. Dried cherry, blackberry and currant flavors are balanced by notes of peppercorn, leather and toasted oak. Firm yet supple tannins add length to a silky finish." —winemaker

"Chocolate-blackberry ganache, cranberry preserves, sweet mint, black licorice, dark olive, new leather, mahogany. Palate is sleek and supple, firm, fine-grain, polished tannins, with a complex, and classy finish." —winemaker
