Natalie's Score: 91/100

Joel Gott Washington 2018 is a dry, full-bodied and concentrated red wine blend of 53% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Syrah, 2% Malbec and 1% Zinfandel sourced from three different appellations in Columbia Valley: the Wahluke Slope, Yakima Valley and Red Mountain, the smallest AVA in the Washington state. The wine was aged in American oak barrels (75% new). Fragrant with blackberry, spiced plum and licorice aromas, on the palate the wine is concentrated with cassis, tart cherry, anise, nutmeg and toasty oak spice with balanced acidity. Tannins are fine and velvety. Enjoy with a roast leg of lamb.

Red Blend food pairings: roast chicken, smoked roast turkey, onion pie.

Reviews and Ratings

From the Columbia Valley wine region in Washington, Joel Gott Washington 2018 is a dry, full-bodied and concentrated red wine blend of more than half in Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Malbec and Zinfandel. The wine was aged in American oak barrels (75% new). Juicy with layers of blackberry, cassis, anise flavours, spicy, fresh and velvety on the palate. So good now to 2026. - Community Wine Reviews
