Joseph Phelps Cabernet Napa 2014
The exuberant new Cabernet release launches forth with prodigious dark fruit, baking spice, and alluring hints of cinnamon and red currant on the finish. Tightly wound now (decanting recommended prior to 2019) with muscular tannins that bode well for aging through 2022, this is a delightful example of what we love about Napa’s preeminent Cabernets under $100.
