What does Josh Cabernet taste like?

Cabernet Sauvignon is a red grape known for dark fruit such as blackcurrant and black cherry, firm tannins and a full body. California versions tend to be riper and rounder than many European ones, with notes that often include vanilla, cocoa or baking spice from oak aging.

Josh Cellars wines are made in an approachable, easy-to-drink style, so expect a smooth, fruit-forward red rather than something austere that needs years in a cellar. That is a general description of the style, so read the label on the bottle for the specifics of the vintage you pick up.

If you like your reds softer, a blend can suit you better than a straight Cabernet. That is where the Legacy Red comes in.

Is there a Josh red blend if the Cabernet is out?

JOSH Legacy Red is the Josh red we have linked for this search. A red blend combines several grapes, which usually gives a softer, rounder glass than a single-variety Cabernet, with less grip from the tannins.

If you are choosing between the two for a dinner, the blend is the easier all-purpose pour. The Cabernet is the better match when you want something with more structure beside a steak or a roast.

You can browse more of this style in our red blend section.

What food goes with Cabernet Sauvignon?

Cabernet's tannins pair well with fat and protein. Grilled steak, burgers, lamb, roast beef and hard aged cheeses all soften the wine's grip and bring out its fruit.

For a weeknight, think meatballs, a mushroom dish, or a good cheeseburger. Tomato-heavy pasta with sausage also works. Delicate fish and light salads tend to be overpowered by a full-bodied red.

Serve it slightly below room temperature, around the mid 60s Fahrenheit. A kitchen in a warm house can run hotter than that, and a short time in the fridge before opening often helps.

Josh Cabernet or another California Cabernet?

If you enjoy Josh, you may want to compare it with other bottles from the same region. Our California Cabs collection groups them together so you can look across what we have.

For the wider range, the Cabernet Sauvignon category lists every Cabernet in the catalogue, and red wine covers the rest of the reds. Another brand worth a look is 90+ Cellars, one of the wine makers we carry the most of.

If you tell us what you like about Josh, whether it is the smoothness, the fruit or the value, we can suggest something along the same lines.

Josh also makes a white. What is it?

Yes. JOSH North Coast Chardonnay is the Josh white we have linked. Chardonnay can range from crisp and lean to rich and buttery, depending on how it is made, and a North Coast California bottle often leans toward the riper, rounder side.

It is a good choice if you are hosting and want a white and a red from the same maker on the table. For more whites, see our Chardonnay page.

How can you get it: pickup, delivery or in store?

What if you are buying wine for a party?

For a gathering, the usual advice is to offer one red and one white that most people will enjoy, plus something sparkling. A Cabernet or red blend covers the red side, and a Chardonnay covers the white.

Our party planner page can help you work out what you need, and our sparkling wine section has options for a toast. Please drink responsibly and plan a safe way home for your guests.
