2001 Joe Phelps Napa

[winoweenie]

As usual this reliable producer has put out a stellar product from this fine vintage. Dark ruby. Nose of red and black fruits. Sweet spice, some leather and a tad of cassis all come over on the palate. Soft tannins shut down the finish prematurally but give this another 2-4 and git it on. A little pricey at 41 by the box but definately worth it. 90/89. 13.8% alc. WW
