A Napa Valley Bordeaux-style red blend from Joseph Phelps Vineyards, bottled at 14.7% ABV in a 750ml format.
The 2008 vintage is composed of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 4% Merlot, sourced from estate vineyards across Rutherford, St. Helena, Stags Leap and Oak Knoll. The grapes underwent five days of cold soaking and extended maceration of up to 40 days, then the wine was aged 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels.
The nose opens with crème de cassis and blackberry jam, with dark roasted coffee, graphite, incense, forest floor, spring flowers and cedar. The palate is richly textured with ripe black fruit, blueberry, tar, licorice, chocolate and baking spices, and the finish is long with graphite, anise and fine-grained tannins.
