Winemaker Bob Egelhoff writes: Rich deep, magenta color. Alluring aromas of black cherry, caramel and sweet toasty oak. Upon tasting, this elegant wine exhibits a full, yet velvety mouthfeel with dense, jammy plum flavors and hints of blueberries and chocolate on the long finish. Phelan Vineyard is located on the western slope of Mt. George in the southeastern part of Napa Valley. Elevation is 1,100 feet above the valley floor providing additional sunlight above the morning fog and cool evenings. This results in a slower ripering and more extended period ofmaturation providing intense fruit flavors. Phelan Vineyard was founded and developed by Arlene and Gerry Phelan. This rocky hillside vineyard is devoted exclusively to premium Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemaker Bob Egelhoff's clients include David Arthur, Axios, Amizetta and Richard
Partridge.
