Josh Cellars Reserve Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Josh Cellars Reserve Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a bold and "rustic" red wine that blends the structure of a premium California Cabernet with the intense, smoky nuances of American whiskey heritage. Sourced from prestigious vineyards across the state, this vintage undergoes a unique maturation process where a portion of the wine is aged for three months in charred Bourbon barrels. This secondary aging imparts a deep, saturated purple colour and an aromatic profile defined by blackberry, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts, layered with distinct notes of vanilla, brown sugar, and toasted oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful with a rich, "creamy" texture and a long, warm finish that carries hints of smoke and spice, making it a favorite for those who enjoy a more robust and decadent style of Cabernet.

Food Pairing: Pairs exceptionally well with a coffee-rubbed steak, smoked vegetables, a bacon bourbon burger, barbecued ribs, or a hearty leg of lamb.
