Not for me, nose is pleasant enough with macerated raspberry compote, but the palette is just a bit disjointed, same jammy red fruit base with a hint of herbal complexity but let down by the clunky tannin integration and somewhat harsh way it sits on your palette

Flabby, with a definite sweet blueberry coming across on the palette. This is bolstered by an ultra round and smooth palette feel. A bit of spice and oak, otherwise red fruit and blueberry.

Well, it's drinkable, but very ordinary and not memorable. Tastes like a typical $10 Cali Cab, i.e., light, not offensive, just sort of out there. Better wines at this price - but a lot of worse ones as well!

We enjoy josh cabs and although a young wine (suggested drinking 2026-2033) we found it smooth with dark berries flavor, and few negatives to drinking early.

Same dining companions as a month ago - and they ordered the same wine. This time we were served vintage 2021 instead of 2020. I'll repeat that previous TN because the experience was pretty much the same. PnP, but was a bit better after some air. Some dark fruits and oak on the nose. The medium bodied palate showed blackberry, blueberry, some cinnamon, oak and maybe a touch of chocolate. The acidity was less than balancing making the wine flabby and a bit "fruit sweet". This bottle cost $76 at a NY City restaurant!
I'm slugging it here, on a trip in the midwest and buying wine at Meijer. I expected this to be better. This is a party wine, fruity and slightly sweet. I do not recognize this as cabernet sauvignon. The wife and I felt more than the stated alcohol content.

BTG. Rich black fruit, nearly sweet, tasty while simple.

Muted fruit notes & floral bouquet, medium tannins, even after a day of opening. The wine lacked balance & sophistication.

Standard Josh product quite palatable with some dark cherry & a bit of spice. Great wine for this price point as alway.
