Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2019
This gem ranks atop the short list of Napa’s finest values under $100 once again. The ‘Baby Insignia’ 2019 boasts an ultra-velvety texture (‘smooth as butter’ commented one team member) plus deeply delicious notes of dark fruit and cocoa nibs on the satisfying finish. Our panel was intrigued by the distinguished mélange of exotic herbs (subtle) supported by hints of jammy blackberry cobbler in the core of this thriller. Enjoy this beauty now (decanting recommended prior to 2023) and anytime through 2026. Bravo!
