Joseph Phelps, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage:2016 well structured fizzThe 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon boasts lovely cigar box like French oak, with delicate touches of cedar and vanilla accenting black cherries and cassis. Medium to full bodied, this is ripe and approachable but not soft or flabby. Concentrated and structured, it's a solid "entry level" Napa Cab, simultaneously juicy and velvety on the finish. It's a blend of multiple vineyards, from Calistoga down nearly to Coombsville.
