Description
The wine shows impressive density while maintaining elegance, supported by well integrated tannins that provide structure without overwhelming. This is a wine of both power and finesse.
JOSEPH PHELPS
The 2022 vintage began with mild weather and early budbreak, which ranged from late March to early April. The weather was sunny and mild through August until a heat event in the first week of September, which brought several days of temperatures over 110 oF to most of Napa Valley. This extreme heat meant that there was very little time between the white grape and red grape harvests. We began picking reds on September 9th and ended on October 5th. Careful fruit selection using our optical sorters was a crucial tool in maintaining excellent wine quality
