Joseph Phelps Vineyards
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Got another ‘08 to try. Dark red color, black fruit aromas, notes of sweet savory spice. On the palate blackberry and cherry flavors emerge, not as jammy as previous tasting showed, with oak, leather and some cacao. Good balance and integration of Tannins and acidity. This full body wine finished very smooth. Drink up, it's a gem.

Jul 7th, 2018Delicious. Balanced mouth feel with a long smooth finish. This is why Napa cabs are famous. With 10 yrs I’d guess we are in the peak window.
