Tuesday, September 5, 2017 - Dinner at Table, Donkey and Stick (Chicago, IL): I'll say it: Eisele Vineyard is probably some of the best dirt in Napa Valley, and Phelps did amazing work with it. This bottle is a clear example of that: everything is just so... Napa cabernet about it. And I'm not referring to the modern jokes that come from the area; this is the sort of wine that made Napa great. It can easily stand up to any Bordeaux of the era. Everything about this in balance; there's green pepper, but not too much; there's ripe fruit, but it's held in check. Acidity, tannins, everything is well-integrated and nothing sticks out.
