Initially known for its Rhone blends, Joseph Phelps Vineyards has since earned a reputation for its Bordeaux varietals. This particular cuvée centres on Cabernet Sauvignon, completed by a touch of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec. The grapes are sourced primarily from vineyards in Saint Helena, Oak Knoll, Stag’s Leap, and Rutherford. In other words, some of the best terroir in Napa Valley.
18 months of French and American oak maturation, of which 50% is new, adds significant complexity to an already intense wine. On the nose, one can expect notes of violet, black fruits, tabaco, spice, and a hint of aromatic herbs. On the palate, its supple tannins serve as the backdrop for flavours of black cherry, plum, and blackberry, with a hint of vanilla. Both concentrated and energetic, the wine displays beautiful finesse and would pair perfectly with duck. It can be cellared for an additional 20 years.
