2019 Priest Ranch James Joshua

James Joshua Red Wine

Tasting Notes

Our 2019 James Joshua is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and selected from three premier cabernet blocks on the property. The 2019 James Joshua exudes lively aromas of boysenberry, bing cherry, and eucalyptus. The aromas continue onto the palate with notes of vanilla bean, dark chocolate, fresh herbs, and a touch of espresso. This powerful yet approachable wine has the ability to be enjoyed young or for years to come.
