| Review | Claret-like aromas of blackberry, currant bud, bitter chocolate, licorice and graphite, plus a whiff of garrigue. Juicy and laid-back, with firm, nicely integrated acids . . . This very lively wine should be held for a couple of years. |

| Review | Ripe aromas of blackberry with notes of pecan pie and charred oak. Tasty blackberry fruit with cedar, sweet tobacco and tea flavors. Phelps produces fresh, fruit-forward wines that show very well in their youth and pack plenty of punch for the long haul. |

| Review | (Barrel sample) Sleek with ripe, vivid black cherry, black currant and raspberry flavors and a hint of mocha. Tannins are ripe and fine-grained. |
