2010 Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon is beautiful. Scents of pain grille, mocha, black currants, spices and plums emerge from the deep, resonant wine. The 2010 possesses stunning textural depth and richness, not to mention phenomenal overall balance. This is a dazzling wine, especially within its price range. 

A cab with great concentration. Aromas and flavors of blueberry, plum, tobacco and vanilla. Layered flavors. Striking.

The 2010 Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon shows amazing concentration and depth with layers of gorgeous ripe black cherries and dark currant which are immediately followed by spices, herbs, anise, mocha, caramel and dusty minerals. Full and rich with a wonderful plush texture and a finish that is long and supple leaving behind a coating of ripe dark fruit. A remarkable Cabernet that is already delicious and showing excellent, but will be even better after some short-term cellaring. 

This wine shows the glamour you expect from a Phelps Cabernet. It's softly tannic and rich in blackberries, currants, licorice and cedar, with a lovely structure. Nice to drink now, right out of the bottle. 

Aromas of cassis, mocha and Cuban cigar tobacco. Sweet and pliant in the mouth, with currant and black cherry fruit flavors complicated by tobacco, herbs and spicy oak. Quite suave in the middle. Finishes with firm but sweet tannins and excellent length. A very successful vintage for this bottling.
