Our take
What we make of this bottle
In the stores we checked in September 2026, prices spanned $14.99 to $24.99. The origin on record is California and the grape is Sauvignon Blanc. Our grape research describes Sauvignon Blanc as a white variety known for a clear aroma and refreshing acidity, most often turned into a dry wine though its sweetness and oak use shift from maker to maker. Across the wider category, official regional guides point to citrus, green herbs, gooseberry and tropical fruit, noting that cooler sites can stay green and citrusy while warmer or riper fruit can turn tropical. That range describes the grape at large, not this particular bottle, whose taste we cannot confirm.
We do not have a shopper rating for this wine. As for the brand behind it, Josh Cellars traces its start to 2007, when Joseph Carr named the brand for his father, Josh.

Research status
What we are still checking
Our overview above draws on the dated store feed, shopper ratings, our region and grape research, and any sourced producer facts. We are still working to confirm the current release, the full producer record, and the bottle itself, and we update this page as we learn more.
Getting to know California.
California on the label is useful provenance but weak detail about place. For these wines, sourcing disclosure, blend construction and house-style consistency carry more decision value than a generic climate paragraph.
What the name means
A state-level appellation, broader than an individual American Viticultural Area. It permits a multi-region blend and does not by itself identify one climate or soil.
How grapes grow here
The state spans cool maritime zones and hot inland valleys. A California designation alone does not reveal which conditions shaped the fruit.
What lies under the vines
At state scale, sourcing and house-style construction matter more than any single soil story.
How large the region is
- Reusable question
- Which counties or AVAs supplied the blend, and did that mix change by release?
Places within the region
- Resolution limit
- County, AVA and vineyard claims begin only when the release names them.
Getting to know Sauvignon Blanc.
Sauvignon Blanc is a white grape known for wines with clear aroma and refreshing acidity. It is usually made as a dry still wine, though sweetness and oak use vary.
Category guide
What to expect in the glass
Official regional guides describe citrus, green herbs, gooseberry and tropical fruit across the category. Cooler sites can emphasize green and citrus notes, while warmer or riper fruit can lean more tropical.
