Now this is a dark purple, smokey, cab/cab frankish wine; it has some cloves, "meaty", burned tires nose with wonderful long "minty" finish. We loved it; it's Joseph Phelps cabernet sauvignon 2005. A 3+ to 4.
Here are the winemaker's notes:
" The dark ruby-colored 2005 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon resembles a classic Bordeaux both in aromatics and flavor. A rich bouquet of cinnamon, spice, licorice, graphite and caramel are followed by integrated layers of cherry, currant, fresh cream and balanced, sweet tannin, all of which contribute to a youthful, bright, multi-layered win"e.
2005
