In years with high yields, selective blending often results in an Innisfree label. The 2005 Innisfree Cabernet was produced from extra fruit after the Insignia and Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon blends were created. This forward and approachable wine boasts aromas and flavors of mulled spices, red fruit, coffee and cedar, with a long, concentrated finish that lingers on the palate.

- ***** FIVE STARS "This is a more affordable version of Phelps' legendary Cabernet and you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference; it comes from the Innisfree Vineyard in the Napa Valley; a wonderfully complex red, with hallmark plum, boysenberry, current and black cherry fruit flavors; it's got style, structure and grace; drinking well now and will improve with a year or two in the bottle. 94" Bev.
