Full catalog 2010 Joseph Phelps "Backus" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

"Winemaker Ashley Hepworth has done a fabulous job with these new releases," Antonio Galloni wrote for Wine Advocate. "While most of the attention at Phelps centers around the flagships Insignia and Backus, over the last few years I have been equally impressed with the straight Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine that delivers tremendous bang for the buck. In addition to these wines, I also tasted a few Syrahs from the 1970s. Today, Phelps is known for their Cabernet Sauvignons, but it is also worth remembering Joe Phelps was the first grower to introduce Syrah to the Napa Valley several decades ago."
