This is a fabulous set of 2018s from Joseph Phelps and winemaker Justin Ennis. Readers will find wines that are deep, rich and wonderfully expressive. Ennis gave the Pinots an average of 20-22 days on the skins, with about 35% whole clusters for the vineyard designates and 16% for the Sonoma Coast bottling. New oak was around 50% for the vineyard designates. As has been the case for a few years now, the Chardonnays were aged mostly in puncheon, which contributes to their distinctive character.
