Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Pretty nose of cinnamon, potpourri, and stewed cherry. Ripe, fruity palate with bold tannins. Palate is perfect to drink now, but tannins just aren't there yet. Solution: start the decant before you start making dinner. A couple of hours will soften the tannins and make this very enjoyable. Chicken, pork, and beef roasts are good matches, as are burgers and sausages off the grill. Good value for Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles.
Linda Mertes WSET 2 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Josh Cellars from Paso Robles, California presents a medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with big aromas of dark fruit, oak ageing, and baking spices. Slightly sweet on the palate with blackberry flavour leading the way, it is well-balanced with medium-high tannins. The finish has hints of oak wood. Serve with red meats.




Natalie's Review

Josh Paso Robles Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, Paso Robles, California, United States: A rich and full-bodied Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon. Smoky with ripe dark plum, blackberry, savoury herb and dark chocolate flavours on the palate. Easy to enjoy. Tannins are soft and rounded. Pair with gourmet burgers from the grill.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
