Joel Gott Washington Red Blend 2018

The Joel Gott Washington blend has aromas of blackberry blossom, black licorice and plum with notes of nutmeg. On the palate, flavors of black currants and cranberries are followed by smooth, elongated tannins with notes of tart cherries and subtle acidity on the mid-palate and a long, delicate finish.

The blend is 45% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 7% Syrah. After fermentation, the wine was aged in 75% new American oak and 25% 2-year old American oak to complement the flavors and tannins of the wine and soften the mid-palate.
