A 2012 Napa Valley Bordeaux-style red blend from Joseph Phelps Vineyards. It is composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot, 10% Merlot, 3% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc, all from estate vineyards across Napa Valley, and aged for 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Roughly 17,500 cases were produced. The nose shows crème de cassis and blackcurrant liqueur, graphite, lead pencil, camphor, lavender, roasted herbs, barbecue smoke and exotic spice. The palate is fleshy and plush with black raspberry and blueberry, musky espresso, mocha, dark chocolate, smoky black cherry and leather, with super-integrated tannins. The finish is long and full-bodied, with coffee, mineral and spice-box notes.
