| 2007 Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon "Napa Valley" Winery: Joseph Phelps Vintage: 2007 Wine Name/Vineyard: "Napa Valley" Wine Category: Cabernet Sauvignon Grape blend: 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc, & 1% Malbec Region: Napa Valley State or country: CA Price: $54 Cases produced: 20,000 KWG Score: 92.5 (based on 6 reviews) Average Virtual Score: 91 (based on 1 review) Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good+ (92) Review date: January 10, 2011 Wine Review: This slightly opaque and very dark purple colored Cabernet opens with a black currant and blueberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, nicely balanced, and smooth. The flavor profile is a gently oak infused blueberry and black currant blend with a hint of black cherry. The finish is dry and its moderate dusty tannins are nicely prolonged. This Cab is very food friendly and went perfectly with beef bourguignon. Enjoy - Ken Winemaker Notes: The balanced 2007 growing season allowed for even ripening throughout each of our Cabernet vineyards. Early in the fermentation the berries revealed concentrated fruit forward flavors and excellent color indicating the high quality of the 2007 vintage. The wine is deeply pigmented and has aromatics of perfectly ripe blackberries, plum, notes of dark chocolate, licorice and spice. The palate is refined and has exceptional texture and length. Organic status: not organic Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Joseph Phelps 2007 Cabernet.
