Davis Phase V Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Cabernet Franc from the Silverado Trail side of the valley, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Phase V sports a deep purple color as well as a lush, sexy style in its blueberry, cassis, graphite, white chocolate, and tobacco leaf aromas and flavors. With full-bodied richness and depth, a big, opulent texture, sweet tannins, and a big finish, it packs serious amounts of pleasure and is a stunning 2017. Score – 95. (jebdunnuck.com, Jan. 31, 2020)
