Joseph Phelps Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (750 ml)

ABV 14.5% Critics Rating: 93 (Wine Spectator). Tasting Notes: A freshly plowed humus note pokes out first, with further coaxing in the glass revealing dense black currant, fig and blackberry paste flavors. On the back end, bittersweet cocoa and espresso crema notes give this a dark, slightly rugged persona, but should smooth out with some brief cellaring. For fans of the toasty style. Best from 2025 through 2040. 58,562 cases made.
