Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

Napa Valley, California, United StatesThe 2000 cab is an 80/10/6/4 blend of cabernet sauvignon / merlot / petit verdot / and malbec. The wine opens with a tight peppery, spicy, smoky nose lace with coffee cola aromas and blackberry, cassis jam and vanilla clove. It's very ripe and round with supple tannins and a touch of heat (alcohol). Cassis jam, smoky, vanilla, pepper, leather and blackberry all mark the flavours. Very round and quite long - forward style ready to drink.Tasted: 10 March 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
