815

2008 California Cabernet Sauvignon

The Joel Gott 815 Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2008 vintage is a delightful expression of California's winemaking potential. This wine showcases a deep red color that invites you in with its vibrant hue. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied character, accompanied by a bright and lively acidity that adds freshness and balance. The rich fruit intensity is prominent, featuring notes of blackberry and cherry, complemented by subtle hints of oak and spice. With a firm tannin structure, this wine boasts both elegance and strength, making it an ideal companion for hearty dishes. Enjoy it now or allow it to age, as its complexity will only grow more inviting with time. The Joel Gott 815 is truly a testament to the exceptional quality of California Cabernet Sauvignon.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
