Had at Grasing’s in Carmel on Loren’s 50th — 3 years ago
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder in Napa Valley.
Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, coffee, peppercorn, tobacco, smoke, peppermint, licorice, spices, chocolates and coffee.
Smells like figs wrapped in bacon, and shoved in the oven. Loved it, and loved those cedar notes.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity.
Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries.
This 8 year old from the great 2012 vintage is spicy, rich and smooth. Delicious and tasty.
This is exactly what you want from a Napa Cabernet. Not too over the top. Nicely balanced with a great mouthfeel and nice complexity.
Delicious once it opens up. I had this vintage before and this time I gave It 3 hours. Will be good in the next 5 years.
Good by itself or with food. A nice sipping wine to share with friends and talk about.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.

Joseph Phelps Insignia 2008: Bold. Rich. Stunning. Velvety black fruits. Mocha. Eucalyptus. Leather. Consisting of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot & 4% Merlot, this was the perfect 1.5L of pure liquid greatness. What better way to celebrate two milestone events but with this extremely special bottle. Simply the finest Napa Valley Bordeaux-style blend ever! Happy Birthday mom & Happy belated 50th Anniversary!
