Grounded Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

California Wine Enthusiast 90 points! Grounded Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautiful California Cab from Josh Phelps. Josh Phelps grew up in St. Helena, Napa, witness to – and participant in – the processes by which the singular wines in the valley are made. In his adolescence and college years, Josh was a committed student of his father, winemaker Chris Phelps, as his family traversed the valley through the cellars of Dominus and Caymus, among others. Josh also counts among his mentors Joel Gott, Kimberly Jones, and Leslie Rudd, from whom he learned how to tell the nuanced stories of wine, and – most importantly – how to share them with a broader community. Grounded Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. The Cabernet is sourced from North and Central Coast Vineyards and the Merlot is sourced from Rutherford AVA in Napa Valley. Practicing Sustainable. “Offering outstanding value, this wine contains nearly one quarter of Merlot, helping to soften and broaden the palate. Cherry candy, clove and black pepper adorn a balanced texture complemented by dried herb and cedar, finishing dry and immensely approachable.”-Virginia Boone, Wine Enthusiast, 90 points!
