GROUNDED JOSH PHELPS CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2023 -14 750ML

Grounded by Josh Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 750 mL

• Tasting / Profile

  • Ripe black cherry, cassis, licorice on the nose; palate shows blackberry, dusty cocoa, and sweet-toned oak with a silky, long finish. 

  • California Cabernet built for approachability—polished tannins, medium+ body, clean fruit focus. 

• Menu Versatility

  • BTG workhorse for steak, burgers, short ribs; equally at home with pizza and BBQ.

  • Flights: “California Cabernet: North vs. Central Coast” or “Oak Levels” to drive discovery and tier pricing.

  • Crowd-pleasing glass pour for banquets and events; consistent style across vintages aids staff scripting. 

• Operational Efficiency

  • ABV: ~13.9–14% (house style/typical). Grapes: primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Petit Verdot, Petite Sirah in the blend. 

  • Sourcing: Paso Robles + interior valleys of California’s North/Central Coasts; stainless/neutral + oak regimen for balanced structure.

  • Yield: 750 mL = ~25.4 oz → 5 × 5-oz or 6 × 4-oz pours; standard case-friendly footprint minimizes storage friction.

• Profit Potential

  • Position as the “polished Cali Cab” BTG anchor; easy trade-up from house red with strong brand story (Josh Phelps). 

  • Feature in Cabernet Flights or with a premium burger/steak special to lift check averages.

  • Reliable banquet pour—style consistency reduces dial-in time and waste; pair with table-tent notes on fruit/ cocoa profile to accelerate decisions. 

Silky, fruit-forward California Cabernet (≈14% ABV) with blackberry, cocoa, and sweet oak—plug-and-play BTG and steak-night upsell.
