Joseph Phelps Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

The Joseph Phelps Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 delivers an impressive expression of California's most celebrated varietal. From the first pour, ripe blackberries and dark cherries emerge, layered with cocoa powder, pencil shavings, dusty minerals, fresh mountain herbs, and sweet baking spices. The full-bodied palate reveals a plush texture and well-defined structure, balanced by bright acidity that keeps each sip fresh and engaging. Concentrated dark fruits, mocha, and spices carry through to a lengthy, lingering finish. While remarkable now, this wine is built to evolve gracefully over the next two decades, rewarding both immediate enjoyment and patient cellaring.
