Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L Magnum is a large-format expression of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, showcasing the house style in a format designed for enhanced ageing, smoother evolution, and celebration occasions.

The blend is typically dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (~90–91%), supported by small amounts of Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Merlot, reflecting a classic Bordeaux-style approach adapted to Napa Valley terroir.

The magnum format (1.5L) allows for a slower, more graceful maturation process, often resulting in better integration of fruit, tannin, and oak over time compared to standard 750ml bottles.

The 2022 vintage shows a style that leans toward lifted aromatics, balanced structure, and approachable but age-worthy Napa Cabernet character.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby with a dense, opaque core and youthful vibrancy.

Nose
Aromatic profile of black cherry, cassis, and ripe plum, layered with cedar, vanilla oak, toasted coconut, and subtle herbal spice.

Palate
Full-bodied and structured, showing ripe black fruits, raspberry compote, and dark berries. The tannins are firm but polished, giving structure without heaviness. The magnum format enhances harmony and softness over time.

Finish
Long and refined, with lingering cassis, cedar spice, and a smooth, persistent tannic backbone.
