Sipping Fine Wine

Joseph Carr has recently produced his second label, "Josh Cellars." Joseph would sit around "the garage" he called a wine cellar, and tinker with a few things handcrafting wines that he jokingly refer to as a "vin de garage." To me this Cab has too much "Garage". Dark Ruby with heavy spice nose masking fruit. On the palate some blackberry fruit peaks through the strong pepper and oak flavors. Tannins are rustic and strong, doubtful they will soften this wine. Finish was off balance. Pass. Tasting Sample.

Fruity, moderate to full bodied, notes of cocoa, BlackBerry, a little black cherry. Some tannins but not overly so. Easy drinking for a cab.

I thoroughly enjoyed this wine. Great taste; full-bodied flavor. Likely really good with steak. I will definitely get this one again.
