This lovely Pinot Noir shows a compelling aroma of clove, cherry, raspberry, black tea with soft tannins and a refreshing finish. I’d drink it again! — a month ago

Deep purple color. Aromas of blackberry, forest floor, graphite and dark chocolate. Delicate, soft wine, blue and black fruit on the palate, balanced wine.

Cool and collected. Gnarly blue fruit, dried herbs and a bloodiness. Lean but soulful — 10 months ago

Scratches that itch. Hard to tell whether it’s a “true champagne” or a very good cremant, but at closeout prices who cares? 90. — 3 months ago

1998 not the best Napa Cabernet vintage. However, good producers still find their way through difficult vintages. Joseph Phelps is the rule rather than the exception.

This was poured out of magnum and drinking beautifully by their Hospitality Manger.

Nicely ripe, lush juicy fruits of blackberries, blackberries, both plums, some purple & blue fruits. Dash of spice & lead pencil, anise-black licorice, soft baking spices, caramel notes, some dark chocolate, fresh dark flowers, round acidity and a well balanced, softened structure & tension, elegant, nicely evolved finish that lasted a full minute. — 9 months ago

Huge wine. Took several hours to open up but had intense and beautiful blue and black fruit aromas.

Pale straw color. Smells sweet tastes like tangy white grape juice, with a touch of lemon chiffon pie. Smooth. — 9 months ago

Absolutely singing after 2 days. Beautiful floral nose with black and blue fruits, and tinges of cut grass, roasted meat, pepper, smoke, and liquorice. Dense and chewy in the mouth, with a long and smooth finish. Banging, as one might expect of Jamet! — 2 years ago
