A family-owned winery founded in 1973 when Joe Phelps purchased a former cattle ranch near St. Helena in the Napa Valley, the winery now farms about 375 acres of vines on 8 estate vineyards. Beautiful aromas of ripe stone fruits, citrus and honey. On the palate crisp ripe apple and pear flavors with lemon zest nicely balanced acidity. Lingering finish ending with creamy oak.

It's a lot of green apple, lemon, lime, butter & buttered popcorn, overripe pineapple, honey, a little too high on the acid, good chalk & minerality. It also handled the brine in the turkey just as well I thought it would.

Classic California style. Nice wine, maybe a little too buttery for my tastes, but still definitely enjoyable. It's a well made wine.

Something a little off with the flavor profile, odd after taste. Will have to try again to rule out bottle variation.
