Interestingly, there are both a Phoenix Winery and Vineyards and a Phoenix Vineyards and Winery in the USA. I assume your notes reflect the one in Napa - not the one in Missouri. Sounds like they make a nice Cabernet.
I see that the 1997 is still available for $42/btl, and _free_ shipping. I just ordered a couple, based on your recommendation. Unfortunately, they seem to have been completely cleaned out of the 1999 Estate Cabernet. :^(
I'll bet their 2001 will be worth seeking out when it becomes available. Thanks for the tip, Bill!

Interesting notes, Bill. My few encounters with Colombo's Cornas have all been unpleasantly oaky. Was this the case with this wine, or has M. Colombo tempered his use of new oak in recent years?

No evident planks in this one - give it a try.
