A Napa Valley Bordeaux-style red blend from Joseph Phelps Vineyards, bottled at 14.9% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The 2010 vintage is composed of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot, 4% Merlot and 2% Malbec, hand-picked and sorted before cold soaking, fermentation and extended maceration. It then aged for 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels.
The nose opens with lead pencil shavings and graphite, then dark plum, black currant, blackberry and bergamot, with smoke, mocha, spring flowers and a foresty quality. The palate is ultra-concentrated yet silky, with ripe blackberry, dark plum, dark chocolate, cocoa, black pepper, curry spice and sweet oak. The finish is long, lush and focused, with well-integrated tannins, acidity and oak alongside dark berry and licorice.
