Joseph Phelps Backus 2004 is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon red wine from the Napa Valley of California. Founded in 1973, Joseph Phelps Vineyards is family-owned winery celebrated for its commitment to crafting world-class, estate grown wines from Napa Valley and the Sonoma Coast. Backus is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the red soils of the Oakville Corridor and eastern hillsides overlooking Screaming Eagle and Rudd Estate. On the 2004. "The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Backus Vineyard, from a steep hillside site in the low end of the Vaca mountains, across from Rudd Vineyards and Screaming Eagle, boasts an inky/purple colour along with remarkably sweet tannins, especially for Backus, which tends to be a forbiddingly backward style of Cabernet. It possesses broad, expansive flavours, an opulent, full-bodied palate and unreal length. One of the superstars of the vintage..." Robert Parker, 2014
