WHAT: The Joel Gott 2009 815 Cabernet Sauvignon offers engaging and layered aromas of blackberry and dark plum with hints of spice, cedar and vanilla. The polished tannins and velvet texture lead to an elegant and long finish.

WHERE: We shop California’s premier winegrowing regions including Napa, Lake County, Mendocino, Lodi and Sonoma for the 815 blend. The Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa is complex with great depth. Lake County fruit provides the wine with minerality and rich texture, while the Mendocino fruit supplies spice and bright red fruit character. The Lodi component shows dark fruit and soft texture and the Sonoma fruit also adds a touch of spice and fruit. The blend from these vineyards and regions results in a beautifully orchestrated wine.

WHY: Our 815 Cabernet is named for the August 15th birth of our daughter Lucy during the 2003 harvest.

ALCOHOL: 13.9
RELEASE DATE: May 2011
