As usual, my tasting at Phelps encompassed a large number of current and upcoming releases. Winemaker Ashley Hepworth has done a brilliant job with all of the wines, although the 2016s have a little more of everything than the wines of the two preceding vintages.

These wines from Joseph Phelps and winemaker Ashley Hepworth are all quite representative of their respective vintages. The 2015s are the result of a light crop caused by shatter early in the year and considerable dehydration caused by scorching hot temperatures and 20 days with temperatures in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. I was very pleasantly surprised to see how well the 2014s are developing, while the 2013s, are, well 2013s. Like many of her colleagues, Hepworth did longer extractions in 2014 than in 2013, a year in which the wines extracted very easily. The 2014s, on the other hand, require a bit more time on the skins to extract. As a reminder, all of the Phelps Cabernets are now made entirely from estate fruit.
