2019 Insignia
Deep garnet colored, the 2016 Insignia bursts with gregarious notes of juicy blackberries, blueberry pie, and warm cassis, followed by suggestions of chocolate mint, forest floor, violets, and cedar chest. Full-bodied, the palate is layered with bold, muscular black and blue fruit flavors, supported by firm, velvety tannins and a refreshing line, finishing long and fragrant. The blend is 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Malbec. The winemaker was Ashley Hepworth.
98/100 Lisa Perrotti-Brown
The classic Joseph Phelps bottling, released this year after three years of ageing in barrel and bottle. Espresso, cocoa bean, cassis, earth, crushed rock, leather, finely sculpted tannins in this most balanced of Napa vintages. The 2019 Insignia marks the first vintage to include fruit from the new Joseph Phelps vineyard named El Venadito, located in the Oak Knoll District, just south of the winery’s Yountville Vineyard. Owned by LVMH at time of release, but made under the former owners.
