2019 Joel Gott 'Palisades' Red Blend California

To make a well-balanced red wine, we blended Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Petit Verdot from five different appellations in California. Fruits from Napa Valley lends complexity while Mendocino fruit gives the wine its color and rich, ripe fruit flavors. Lake Country 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.
