The 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon Backus Vineyard has become an extraordinary wine. It boasts an opaque purple color, followed by a fabulous nose of licorice, jammy black-cherry, cassis fruit, minerals, and smoke. Powerful, full-bodied, moderately tannic yet exceptionally well-endowed, this wine will keep for 20+ years. The most limited production Cabernet in the Phelps portfolio is the single vineyard Backus Cabernet. It is a 6.75 acre parcel superbly situated south of the Oakville Crossroad next to such Napa heavyweights as Dalla Valle and Screaming Eagle. This wine has reached new heights in quality over recent vintages, and I would enthusiastically suggest that readers search out the Backus Cabernet Sauvignon. There is not much made, with a production of under 1,000 cases.
