About this bottle
Josh Cellars Bourbon Barrel Cabernet Sauvignon spends a period finishing in barrels that previously held bourbon, adding a layer of char and warmth to a fairly standard California Cabernet base. The 2018 shows dark fruit, oak, and a hint of bourbon sweetness on the nose, with a full-bodied palate carrying blackberry, cherry, and a touch of vanilla from the barrel. Tannins are moderate rather than gripping, and the finish is smooth and lingering. It's a Cabernet aimed at drinkers who like a little extra sweetness and spice from barrel finishing rather than a classic, oak-neutral style.
How to drink Josh Cellars Bourbon Barrel Cabernet Sauvignon
Pour it at room temperature in a standard red wine glass - no decanting required given the moderate tannins. It's built for grilled or smoked meats, where the barrel's char and vanilla notes echo what's happening on the grill.
