Dec 26th, 2015Salted caramel nose. Resolved blackberries, dark cherries, mulberries, cooked black plum, soft leather, sweet dark earth, star anise, light cinnamon salted milk chocolate, super elegant with a very long finish. Paired well with steak, lamb and duck due to it's long bottle evolution. Drink now as it's hit it's stride.

The medium ruby-red '01 Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is still showing noteworthy aromas of blackberry, plum, black tea, leather and pencil lead. Dark fruit flavors with sweet nutty oak undertones in the mouth. Smooth fully-resolved tannins on the lingering finish with signature JPV cedar notes.
