Community Tasting Note

SMHalps Likes this wine:

Wednesday, March 22, 2017 - It was the 2nd Cabernet of the night, following a 2009 Quilceda Creek Cabernet and it was followed by a 1997 Phelps Insignia. Opened, but not decanted for 45 minutes before pouring. Beautiful color, and perfumed nose. It had a big mouthfeel and long long finish. A treat to drink. This may have been an overwhelming fruit bomb in its youth, but at 15 years (from the harvest, not the bottling), it has balanced out really well. I had this with a Mutton chop and it was a great pairing.
