Item Description

Joseph Phelps 2012 Napa Valley Syrah, 1.5L

A blend of 94% Syrah and 6% estate co-fermented Viognier, the 2012 Syrah was aged 18 months in 41% new and 59% neutral French oak. While still in barrel, this big Syrah appears to have outstanding potential. Its opaque purple color is accompanied by classic aromas of licorice, camphor, charcoal, pepper, bouquet garni, roasted meats and lots of blackberry and black currant fruit. This dense, subtle, silky-textured Syrah exudes fruit, glycerin and charm. It cuts a bigger, broader swath across the palate than the 2011, but will be drinkable when released, and should age nicely for 7-10 years. - Wine Advocate
