Joseph Phelps Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
James Suckling: "Plenty of aromas of spices and tobacco on the nose. It shows lots of ripe fruit with round tannins... Long and juicy on the finish. Savory and Sexy." June 2011 Winery: "The 2008 Cabernet reveals aromas of plum and blackberry intertwined with graphite, forest floor, dark chocolate and curry notes. The fruit and spice carry through on the palate adding to the multi- layered texture of this wine. Supple, integrated and age-worthy tannins create a long, lush finish." Wired For Wine: Hang onto your hats winelovers, lest they blow away when this Joseph Phelps Napa Cabernet Sauvignon walks through the door. This gorgeous Whelps is a real head-turner, but unlike with people, it's going to be just as beautiful several years down the road. Hmmm. For the holidays, or for a special occasion in the future? Make sure you get enough because the likes of this Napa Cabernet are few and far between. Open your first bottle and give it a little time to open if you are able. The earthy notes of forest floor and tobacco will come alive with hors d'ouevres of Moroccan-style lamb meatballs with lemon juice and mint sprinkled on top. Robust meats such as beef, lamb and heartier game are a must with this inky Napa Cab. The lush fruit, smooth tannins, gentle spice and long, lush finish will combine and have you eating out of its hand by meal's end. The many layers and hint of spice of this Phelps Cab are delicious with a roasted rosemary filet of beef and Cabernet sauce. A lovely nod to the supple tannins would be grilled rib lamb chops served with new potatoes and asparagus with toasted hazelnuts. You won't want the meal to end so we say go for the cheese course and dessert. Why not?? This California Cabernet's sexy texture is spellbinding opposite the potent density of an Italian Bra Duro cheese. Open another bottle and prepare everyone for just one more priceless combination. Bittersweet chocolate pots de creme, topped with a single drunken cherry will touch on the plum and blackberry notes and pure fruit in this California red, and ought to bring the house down. Don't fight it winelovers, just surrender!
