2001 Joseph Phelps Merlot

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Saturday, July 31, 2004 - My trip to Napa, Part 4: Montelena, Phelps, Darioush, lunch at Tra Vigne, Dinner at Bouchon and a nightcap (Napa Valley, California, USA): Was this an off bottle? It was sweet, almost sickly sweet, sort of a pale shadow of a Pride Merlot with all of the sweetness but none of the intrigue or complexity. The palate has some herbal elements and then finishes like cherry cough syrup. I can't give this a score, undrinkable.
