TASTING NOTES:
Full-bodied and approachable
Deep garnet-purple in colour
This 2019 Insignia opens with heady aromatics of red fruit, crème de cassis, leafy tobacco and delicate dried rose petals.
The palate is juicy and dense with expressive layers of blackberry, raspberry, blackcurrant and dark chocolate.

BLEND AND ORIGIN:
Joseph Phelps Insignia 2019
Insignia is 100% estate grown, and a blend of the best wine lots from Joseph Phelps vineyards in St Helena, Rutherford, Oakville, the Stags Leap District, the Oak Knoll District and South Napa Valley.
The 2019 Insignia is the first vintage to include fruit from the new Joseph Phelps vineyard, El Venadito, which is located in the Oak Knoll District, just south of the winery’s Yountville Vineyard.
The final blend comprises 93% cabernet sauvignon, 5% petit verdot and 2% malbec.
The wine is aged for 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels, which helps to tame the tannins and increase its ageability.
