NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Joseph Phelps Backus Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep, rich Cabernet Sauvignon with a bold and intense flavor profile.Rich aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, cassis and sweet oak are followed by a palate of ripe blackberry and black cherry flavors, accompanied by a nice minerality and a hint of tobacco and leather. The finish is smooth and lingering, with a pleasing and persistent tannin structure. Savor it now, or store it for many decades to enhance its potential.
