Very good value for a Reserve Cab. Raspberry and blackberry and slightly nutty flavors. I would buy another bottle or two. — 5 years ago
Scrumptious! Vanilla, hazelnut, cinnamon. Smooth, full mouth feel. Great with a grilled sirloin and roasted butternut squash. At the lake w Chas, 11/14/19. $10 — 6 years ago
The Phelps Pinot’s take awhile to come around. This 11 overachieves the vintage and has put on weight since I first tasted it at Phelps. Plenty of life ahead of this wine. I will wait another 2-4 years to open another. On the nose; dark cherries, cherries, blue fruits hues, dry cranberries plum and blackberries, limestone minerals, violets, red floral and red roses. The body is medium. The tannins silty/silky soft. The fruits are ripe & ruby. Sweet & sour dark cherries, cherries, pomegranate, blue fruits hues, dry cranberries plum, and blackberries. Silky volcanic minerals, limestone, cola with a touch of red vines, dark rich dry soil, hints of crushed rocks, fruit tea, violets, and red. Roses, beautiful rainfall acidity. The length, structure, length and balance are harmonious. The long, elegant, well polished finished lasts over a minute and is fruit and floral driven. @Compline...Master Sommelier Matt Stamps & Ryan Stetins new restaurant & retail shop downtown Napa. Food is very good & inexpensive. Good retail shop wines all $12-$48. Leave it to a Master Sommelier to find really good affordable wines. They have a bright future. — 7 years ago

If aliens landed and asked "What does earth wine taste like?", I would hand them a bottle of this. 👽🍷 Not because I think it's the best earth has to offer but because I think it's a good representation of what fermented grapes taste like. That being said, it is definitely on the sweet side but I think it's a nice blend. — 7 years ago

One of my favorites. Has a little bit of a sweetness to it. — 5 years ago
Very light and easy drinking. Had it with Thai dinner. Not very acidic, does not have a big earthiness that some roses have. This would be a good pick for people who are in the middle on their thoughts of rose — 6 years ago
