Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon 1995
E-mail this item from The Wine MerchantJoseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon 1995 The 1995 Cabernet is a powerful, extracted wine, with a rich oak component underlying the spicy, peppery flavors. As the wine continues to evolve it reveals cherry and plum-like aromas, rich, mature tannins, and the potential to outlive the excellent '94 vintage. Wine Spectator This tightly wound California Cab is definitely one for the cellar. It's a touch earthy and leathery, but the core of currant, berry, cherry and spice flavors is rich and focused, finishing with a long, lively aftertaste. Best from 2001 through 2010. 5,000 cases made. Score: 91. —James Laube, June 30, 1998.Wine Advocate The 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon spent 16 months in cask (primarily French oak), and was bottled with minimal filtration. It exhibits a dark ruby/purple color, as well as an attractive black cherry, cassis, and dried herb-scented nose with spicy oak. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, it offers plenty of cassis fruit and a chewy style. It can be drunk or cellared for 15+ years. Score: 90. —Robert Parker, December 1998. All sizes are 750mL unless otherwise noted. |
