Deep Ruby with youthful aromas of blue and black fruits with sweet spice and slight mineral character. The wine is a blend of 86% Cab Sauv, 7% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec & 2% Cab Franc from their estate-owned Napa Valley vineyards, aged 18 months in French (62%) & American oak (38%) (48% new). On the palate complex flavors, blackberry, plums and ripe cherry with sweet spice, oak and eucalyptus notes. Well balanced with good acidity and tannins still developing. Full-bodied, long finish ending with cacao and wood spice. Delightful! Tasting Sample!

A baby but outstanding. Rich red fruit, minerality and a lingering mid pallet aftertaste. Buy while you can

Very well balanced and complete. Blueberry pie, tobacco, spice, and puckering tannins. I think this label was one of the best buys in Napa when it was $60 - $80 a bottle. I got a few vintages at Costco for $60 / bottle and stocked up. Now at $110+ I’ll just get one or two and wait as time seems to really help these.

Off the truck 🛻 taste off with leftover 🥩 .
Had multiples of each arrive, so not a problem opening too soon.
Phelps is the one to have with some nice fatty Wagyu.

California Cab-Sav as you’d expect it: easy drinking but in your face, lots of fruits… and oak too. Possibly on the young side.
