James Suckling Review Rated 94 Bright, lifted, black and red fruits with aromas of dark cherries, damson plums, cedar box and fresh herbs. The full-bodied palate has a supple, rounded mouthfeel and softly integrated tannins. 91% cabernet sauvignon with smatterings of the other main Bordeaux varieties. Lively and approachable yet plush with plenty of years ahead. Drink or hold. Wine
Tasting Notes
A classic Joseph Phelps Napa Cabernet Sauvignon displays traditional aromas of ripe currant, tobacco, leather, pencil shavings, and dark chocolate. This full-bodied wine is rich, fleshy, and complex, with layers of dark plum, blackberry, and savory spices. It is a lively and dynamic wine with a strong acid structure and depth, making it suitable for extended cellar aging. 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec, 1% Merlot
