Joseph Phelps 2019 Insignia Napa Valley

The 2019 Insignia is a testament to the masterful art of blending, offering a rich and deeply complex profile that will captivate from the first sip. This Bordeaux-style blend presents an aromatic bouquet of ripe blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, elegantly layered with notes of graphite, cedar, and a hint of sweet baking spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and impeccably balanced, with velvety tannins and a seam of vibrant acidity that carries the dark fruit flavors through a long, persistent finish. While it is compelling to drink now, this wine possesses the structure and depth to age gracefully for decades, promising to evolve and reveal even greater complexity over time. It is an exceptional choice for collectors and a sophisticated centerpiece for any momentous occasion.
