Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting profile

Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry

Joel Gott is a fourth-generation California wine family name, and the label operates in the négociant tradition — buying fruit and finished lots from growers across the state rather than farming a single estate. That model is why the wines carry the broad California appellation: the blend is assembled each year from wherever the vintage offered quality, which favours consistency of house style over expression of place. The Cabernet is made in the generous, polished California idiom: blackcurrant and dark cherry with vanilla, cocoa and a touch of mocha from oak, full-bodied with soft ripe tannins and a smooth finish. Approachable on release and built for drinking rather than cellaring.
