2022 Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California, United States

Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 showcases the depth and character of Napa Valley through a carefully selected blend of fruit sourced from several renowned vineyard areas, including Suscol, Yountville, St. Helena, Rutherford, Stags Leap and Oakville. The blend is led by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by small amounts of Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Merlot. Each vineyard contributes distinctive characteristics, bringing together ripe fruit, structure and complexity.

Aged for 16 months in French and American oak barrels, including 48% new oak, this wine develops an expressive bouquet of black cherry, pomegranate and cassis, layered with cedar spice and toasted coconut. The palate reveals raspberry compote and concentrated dark berries, supported by integrated tannins and a full-bodied yet elegant structure. Rich and polished, with impressive depth and a persistent finish, it pairs beautifully with grilled steak, roasted lamb and aged cheeses.
