Joel Gott 815 Cabernet Sauvignon, California, USA 2021

Our 815 Cabernet Sauvignon reflects what each appellation gives to the wine. Fruit from Napa Valley lends complexity and Sonoma adds a touch of spice to the blend. Lake County vineyards add structured tannins and minerality while Mendocino fruit gives the wine its dark colour and rich, fruit flavours. Rounding out the blend, our Lodi fruit is characterized by rich flavour and soft texture and fruit from the Central Coast adds spice and acidity. We source from these varied regions throughout California to create an elegant, balanced wine.

Following harvest, the grapes from each vineyard were sorted and destemmed, then fermented in individual lots. As the lots are aged in oak for 16 months, the barrels are tasted frequently to assess tannin and flavor development. Finally, the lots were blended together to balance the characteristics of each growing region.

Our 815 has aromas of raspberries, blackberries, plum, and mocha with notes of cinnamon and cedar. The wine opens with red fruit flavours, followed by velvety tannins on the mid-palate and notes of black pepper on the long, textured finish.
