(Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard) Easily the best California Cabernet I have ever had. They do not make them like this anymore at all. Massive nose of mint, cigar, menthol, chestnut, minerals and wet forest floor. Amazingly complex and inviting nose. The palate was amazingly concentrated and dense. So much flavor it was unreal. The power/flavor combo was brilliant. It was not like todays Cabernet's that are so over the top with fake processed flavors that you almost want to puke. The finish, midpalate and attack were all world class.
