Joel Gott, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California, USA 2017

On sale from the end of October 2022, this Napa Valley Cabernet is pricey compared to most other reds on the Tesco shelves, but represents good valley for a Napa Cabernet at this level of quality – they never come cheap. Approachable and uber-drinkable, this is packed with ripe dark fruit – black plum, blueberry and blackcurrant – and has velvety tannins, structure and vanilla spice from the oak. A treat, and a great way to discover what good California Cab can offer.
