Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon Backus Vineyard 2018

WineSaint

Cassis and cedar open to violet and dried herbs, showing Oakville's mineral backbone. The tannins frame rather than dominate, creating a wine built for the cellar. Impressive structure with that classic Napa restraint. Drink 2026-2040.
