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!
