We are pleased to share not one, not two, but three, 94 point reviews from Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate issue #206 Sonoma Report. Congratulations to our winemaking and vineyard teams! 

2010 Joseph Phelps Chardonnay, Freestone Vineyards: The aromas and flavors remain bright, focused and beautifully articulated from start to finish. This is another fabulous wine from Joseph Phelps. 94 points. 

2010 Joseph Phelps Pinot Noir, Freestone Vineyards: This supple, resonant Pinot is another gorgeous wine from Phelps. 94 points. 

2010 Joseph Phelps Pinot Noir, Pastorale Vineyard: It is a lovely showing from Phelps. 94 points. (Limited Availability)

2010 Joseph Phelps Chardonnay, Pastorale Vineyard: Apricot and peach notes float on the palate in a wine defined by its insistent minerality and gorgeous focus. 93+ points. (Limited Availability)

2010 Joseph Phelps Pinot Noir, Quarter Moon Vineyard: The savory aromatics resemble those of the Pastorale, while the richness of the fruit has more similarities with the Freestone. It all adds up to another beautifully expressive, layered Pinot. 92 points.
