Joseph Phelps Merlot 2001


Mmmm. Blackberry, cedar and tobacco on the nose, with a burst of spices of the palate. The aftertaste lingers, and this wine would make a great companion to a juicy steak. This is a tough call between being either a four or three and a half star wine... but I think I'm going to be generous and give it four stars out of five (as a note, the Joseph Phelps Merlot 2002 is an easy four star, maybe even earning four and a half stars).
