2/11/2024 - djs Likes this wine: 91 pointsPop and pour. Very aromatic nose (spring flowers & spice). Not over done with ripeness. More of an old school Cali style that I appreciate. |

1/30/2024 - djs wrote: 86 pointsMy first time with this particular cuvee. Drank over a two night period. I've had some very tasty wines from this producer but this seemed one dimensional and a bit over extracted. Even though I knew what I was drinking, I struggled to find much nuance or sense of place. |

1997 Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
12/10/2023 - djs Likes this wine: 92 pointsReally impressive longevity for this style of wine and price point. Has evolved beautifully although still pretty heavy on the wood. Pleasant surprise and glad I have a couple more that I won't wait too long to enjoy with grilled ribeye. |

10/26/2023 - djs Likes this wine: 92 pointsDeep ruby color. Plum, black cherry, cigar box on the nose. Medium body, decent length finish. Held very strong on night two. Probably added a point for being a killer QPR at $17 but would be just as enjoyable at twice the price. VG |
