Joel Gott - Palisades - Red Blend

Overview: Since our start in 1996, we have selected the best fruit from growing regions in California, Oregon and Washington which we blend to create more balanced, clean, complex, and elegant wines. We are geared towards continuing to give our customers expressive and food-friendly wines at great prices. We hope you enjoy and will let us know what you think!

To make a well-balanced red wine, we blended Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petit Verdot from five different appellations in California. Fruit from Napa Valley lends complexity while Mendocino fruit gives the wine its color and rich, ripe fruit flavors. Lake County adds structured tannins and minerality while smaller, more concentrated fruit clusters from Monterey offers fruit-forward notes. Vineyards in Santa Barbara experience cool, foggy mornings and warmer afternoons, bringing out well-developed fruit flavors and balanced acidity in the grapes.

Tasting Notes: The Joel Gott Palisades Artist Series red wine has aromas of cherry pie and roasted coffee with notes of vanilla and spice. On the palate, bright cherry flavors lead to smooth tannins and subtle acidity on the mid-palate with notes of spice on the long, delicate finish.
