The 2010 Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon shows amazing concentration and depth with layers of gorgeous ripe black cherries and dark currant which are immediately followed by spices, herbs, anise, mocha, caramel and dusty minerals. Full and rich with a wonderful plush texture and a finish that is long and supple leaving behind a coating of ripe dark fruit. A remarkable Cabernet that is already delicious and showing excellent, but will be even better after some short-term cellaring. Composed of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot from 100% estate-grown Napa Valley vineyards: 44% Spring Valley Ranch in St. Helena, 28% Suscol in South Napa, 16% Yountville in Oak Knoll District and 12% Banca Dorada in Rutherford.
