Josh Cellars produces a variety of wines from California grapes. The line was created by Joseph Carr, who started his namesake winery in 2001 and sold his first vintage in 2002. Joe wanted to do something in memory of his dad Josh, and thus the Josh Cellars label was born in 2005. Originally there was only a single varietal, a Cabernet Sauvignon, however over the years the line has grown in variety as well as popularity. It is now a fairly ubiquitous bottle of wine you can find in any wine shop, in supermarkets and anywhere else that sells wine.
It is also a reliable bottle of wine, one that you can count on to provide quality and value. Even better, part of the proceeds from the sale of Josh wines goes directly to charity, in honor of Joe’s dad.
Here we’ll review the 2019 Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon, still widely available.
Wine: 2019 Josh Cellars Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery Location: California
Tasted By: Neil & Cheri Date: August 2022
Tasting Notes: Medium dark ruby, this has a nose of berry, cherry, leather and cedar wood. It also smells a bit sweet in this vintage. There are some floral notes. The juice is full bodied with a rich palate featuring primarily red and blackberry fruit. The finish is long. If you like a nice, rich California Cab then this is a good choice at this price. 13.5% alcohol.
Price Point – Around $13 – $15
Would We Buy It? – yes, Josh Cellars wines have been a staple over the years. This one has a bit of sweetness to it but it is still a delicious wine.
A votre santé!
