Note di degustazione
The 2001 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from Phelps is doing nicely, and I’m winding down on more than a case and a half of this beauty, which was a terrific value when I purchased it on release. Still a big, ripe, chewy effort, with lots of currants, pencil shavings, dried earth/herbs and a touch of chocolate, I’d call it fully mature, yet it still has a stacked mid-palate and loads of fruit, so it’s going to evolve gracefully for another decade or more easily. Give it an hour in the decanter if drinking over the coming couple of years.

The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a deep ruby color, along with a big, sweet nose of dried herbs intermixed with black currant, cherry, and hints of wood smoke and earth. It is best drunk over the next 7-8 years. Tel. (707) 963-2745; Fax (707) 963-4831
Good medium ruby. Very ripe aromas of cassis, licorice, espresso and cedary, nutty oak. Sweet, concentrated and pliant, with very good breadth and depth of flavor for this basic cabernet bottling. Finishes with suave, building tannins and noteworthy persistence.
