About the winery · Josh Cellars ›

Josh Cellars was founded in 2007 by Joseph Carr and named for his father Josh — a lumberjack, volunteer firefighter and veteran. Now part of Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits, it's a negociant label: no estate vineyards, just fruit sourced from growers across California, blended by winemaker Wayne Donaldson into an approachable, fruit-forward house style. This Cabernet was the brand's very first wine.
