James Suckling: 94 Points
Blackcurrants, spiced cedar and dark spices with bark undertones. Full-bodied with very fine, velvety tannins. Textured and compact with a firm, lingering finish.
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
Cellar Selection
This powerful, densely packed wine bursts with aromas of late-picked blackberries, blueberries and cassis that give way to bold black fruit and dark-chocolate flavors accented by cloves, black pepper and cedar.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) marries rich, dense fruit with gorgeous floral notes. The 2021 is laced with inky blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and savory herbs that lend notable aromatic complexity. This is beautifully done.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
A freshly plowed humus note pokes out first, with further coaxing in the glass revealing dense black currant, fig and blackberry paste flavors. On the back end, bittersweet cocoa and espresso crema notes give this a dark, slightly rugged persona, but should smooth out with some brief cellaring. For fans of the toasty style.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
Somewhat unusually for Napa Valley Cabernet, Phelps's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon utilizes a fair proportion of American oak (about half). Scents of Ribena-like cassis and cherries join vanilla and cedar nuances, plus hints of dusty earth. Drawn from a number of vineyards across Napa Valley, this medium to full-bodied wine is plush and supple, already easy to drink but also has plenty of soft tannins on the finish.
