Phelps had been buying fruit from the Backus Vineyard for quite awhile -
since the 1970s anyway. They finally bought the vineyard a few years ago,
and the wine is now their flagship. It's 100% Cabernet, and the 2001 I
tasted at the winery with Ian & Jacquie was magnificent! Unfortunately, it
was also $150. :^(
