Joseph Phelps Insignia 2018 is a Bordeaux-style red blend from Napa Valley, California, bottled at 14.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Joseph Phelps Vineyards was founded in 1973 in St. Helena.
The 2018 vintage is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc, from 100% estate-grown fruit across six estate vineyard sites. It was aged for 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels.
The nose shows blackcurrant cordial, stewed dark plum, violets, cigar box, graphite and clove oil, with cooler undertones of menthol, wet slate and cedar. The palate is plush and generous, with blackberry, boysenberry, mocha, dark chocolate and anise, supported by fine-grained, dusty tannins. The finish is extremely long and savoury, with spice, sweet tobacco and subtle menthol.
