Grounded Wine Co. Grounded by Josh Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 750ml

This wine is deep, with aromas of cassis, black raspberry, cardamom, dried potpourri and mulled spices on the nose. The flavors on the palate are black strawberry, blueberry preserve and black tea leaves woven with lemon zest, black peppercorn and a long finish. Decant and pair with braised beef cheeks crusted with whole-grain mustard.

Relationships are everything; this bottle of wine was produced from some of California's best sources. It is not always easy to find a great Cabernet Sauvignon, but that's not the case with this one. Rich, concentrated, with aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, toasted vanilla, dried spice on the nose. The palate is structured by dark berries, herbs, maple, and minerals.

This red delivers a pure beam of gently mulled plum and black cherry fruit, backed by a flicker of savory and a light kiss of toast on the finish, with underlying succulence. Drink now through 2028. 35,000 cases made.

Ripe and polished, with a friendly core of steeped plum and black cherry fruit given a nice sheen of judicious toast. A light savory hint keeps this honest. Drink now through 2026. 22,000 cases made.
