Booking a wine tasting for two at Joseph Phelps Vineyards to celebrate my partner's birthday was an absolute hit, especially for a huge fan of Cabernet Sauvignon like myself! From the moment we stepped in, we were met with warmth and hospitality. Our host exuded friendliness, energy, and a wealth of knowledge that added an extra layer of enjoyment to our visit.
The journey into the history of the vineyards and the captivating tale behind their remarkable wine, Insignia, was truly engaging. Learning about the roots of the winery while savoring their exquisite Cabernet Sauvignon was an experience we won't soon forget. Being a devoted Cabernet Sauvignon fan, I was elated by their selection. The 2019 Delice, Napa Valley, was a sensory masterpiece, offering fragrant gardenia, stone fruit, and delicate tropical notes. Layers of passion fruit, ripe peach, and guava danced on the palate, evoking memories of Canadian ice wine - prompting me to acquire a bottle for my collection.
The outdoor setting allowed us to soak in the breathtaking vineyard views and relish the gentle breeze. We were pleasantly surprised to find cozy blankets thoughtfully provided at the seating areas, ensuring we stayed comfortable even if the weather turned a bit chilly.
Our overall tasting experience was nothing short of great. The combination of exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon, a knowledgeable host, and the idyllic ambiance left us with smiles on our faces.
