Tasting Notes/Fact Sheet

2006 PHIFER PAVITT, NAPA VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON (DATE NIGHT)

This is a perfectly proportioned Napa Cab, remarkable in its exquisite balance. Aromatically complex, espresso, black cherry, olive and sweet pipe tobacco, with undercurrents of chocolate truffles and ripe plum. On the palate, a sensual mix of lush fruit, milk chocolate and spice. Elegant fine grained tannins give way to spicy blackberry, espresso bean, plum and nectarine. All repeated in the long mouth-coating finish. (Enjoy from 2009 until 2018.)

2005 PHIFER PAVITT, NAPA VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON (DATE NIGHT)

[SOLD OUT]

Opens with intoxicating aromas of fresh berries, dark chocolate, cut hay, rhubarb, and wild herbs. Then bursts onto the palate with massive brooding dark fruits, accented with chaparral spices, refined toasty oak, tobacco, tea leaves and leather. All that ripeness is held up with an elegant array of structured and chewy tannins. The finish is focused and long. This is Napa Cabernet at its hedonistic best. Drink 2008 to 2015.
