Joel had purchased five tons of fruit from boyhood neighbour Tom Dillian and made the wine with then-girlfriend Sarah, a winemaker in Napa Valley. The subsequent 1997 vintage of Dillian Ranch Zinfandel marked not only Sarah and Joel’s marriage, but also the first significant reviews of the wine in respected publications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe success of the 1997 vintage allowed Joel to purchase fruit from twelve different vineyards throughout Northern California in 1999. Joel and Sarah originally intended to produce single-vineyard Zinfandels with these grapes but found during tastings that the wine was much more balanced when blended. They adjusted their plans and released their first California Zinfandel, which sold out in one week. Meanwhile, Sarah gained more winemaking experience by producing well-regarded Cabernet blends at Joseph Phelps. Her experience with Cabernet blends led to the production of the first Joel Gott California Cabernet in 2003. The labels reflect the contents: stylish modern classics, restrained and yet with typical Californian generosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eJOEL GOTT WINES\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gottwines.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The official website of Joel Gott Wines\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/desktop_icon_cd1f9a91-a06b-4665-880d-cc47c0dde6d7_480x480.jpg?v=1588261941\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/joelgottwines\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Like Joel Gott Wines on Facebook\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joelgottwines\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Follow Joel Gott Wines on Twitter\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/twitter_icon_34f9bd96-ace0-4f23-b0ee-0e0d2f8cc379_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/twitter_icon_34f9bd96-ace0-4f23-b0ee-0e0d2f8cc379_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/joelgottwines\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Follow Joel Gott Wines on Instagram\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"joel-gott-california-zinfandel","title":"Joel Gott Zinfandel 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eJoel Gott sources fruit for this California Zinfandel from the Amador and Lodi appellations where small fruit clusters from decades-old vines give the wine its intense concentration. After fermentation, the wine was aged in 20% new American oak and 80% 2-year-old French oak.

Fruit from the Napa Valley lends complexity whilst Sonoma adds a touch of spice to the blend. Mendocino fruit gives the wine its dark colour, rich, ripe berry flavours and tannins. Fruit from the cooler, windy Monterey appellation produces smaller, more concentrated fruit clusters and the warmer Paso Robles appellation offers fruit-forward notes and riper tannins. Rounding out the blend, fruit from Lodi is characterised by rich flavour and soft texture. Following harvest, the grapes from each vineyard were sorted and de-stemmed, then fermented in individual lots. As the lots aged in oak for 18 months, the barrels are tasted frequently to asses tannin and flavour development. Finally, the lots were blended together to balance the characteristics of each grape growing region. The final 815 wine displays aromas of blackberry and black cherry with notes of clove, vanilla, and brown sugar. The wine opens with dark, concentrated fruit flavours, followed by velvety tannins on the mid-palate and notes of baking spices on the long, textured finish.
