An elegant red blend from the Napa Valley, Joseph Phelps Insignia 2018 is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc aged for 24 months in 100% new French oak. A remarkably complex and interesting red, the 2018 Insignia from Joseph Phelps is arguably the best Insignia ever released, rated as the 42nd best wine of the year in 2021 by James Suckling and awarded 99 points. A full-bodied, slightly tannic flavor bomb that bridges cassis, currants, dark chocolate and tobacco with a silky smooth mouthfeel, it is a must-try for lovers of fine red.
