Top Notes For
Out of Magnum. Rich black plum, cooked rhubarb, ripe black cherries, pomegranate, raspberries, hint of sage, dry tumbleweed, tea, dusty limestone, soft spices, perfect acidity and a full minute finish. Perfect pairing is pulled pork sandwiches top with cole slaw. Sadly, the Phelps brother who once championed this wine doesn't anymore. The vineyards are owned by a Ventana company and it's not the same wine.

The Rhone inspired Mistral is light red and brick in color with good weight and texture for a wine a lot of people think of as an afterthought to the Insignia and Cabernet based wines. Dried strawberries, roast plum, spice, earth, pain grille, and bbq notes, really cool stuff. #josephphelps #napa
