Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The Joel Gott 2017 Palisades red wine has aromas of red cherries, chocolate, leather, cherry compote,
baking spices, and notes of toasted oak. On the palate, bright red fruit flavors lead to smooth
tannins and subtle acidity on the mid-palate with notes of vanilla on the long, delicate finish.
Vineyard Notes
To make a well-balanced red wine, we blended Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petite Sirah, Alicante
, and Malbec from five different appellations in California. Fruit from Napa Valley lends complexity while Sonoma adds a touch of spice to the blend. Mendocino fruit gives the wine its color, rich, ripe fruit flavors and tannins. Lake County adds structured tannins and minerality while fruit from Lodi rounds out the blend adding rich flavors and soft texture
Production Notes
Across California in 2017, the growing season started with much-needed winter rains, resulting
in a later than usual bud break. Warm spring and summer temperatures, followed by a late summer heatwave, caused us to pick our fruit in the beginning of September.
Winemaker Notes
After fermentation, the wine was aged in 1 & 2-year-old American oak to complement the
flavors and tannins of the wine and soften the mid-palate.
