About Joseph Phelps
Joseph Phelps Vineyards was born out of owner Joseph Phelps's love for the Napa Valley, which he discovered while his construction firm was building a winery near St. Helena. Today, Joseph Phelps Vineyards produces several wines that are 100% estate grown, including the flagship Insignia, a lush, highly concentrated blend of Bordeaux varietals.
2011 Joseph Phelps Insignia Proprietary Red Wine Napa Valley
Producer: Joseph Phelps
Style: Red Wine
Grape Type: Bordeaux Blend
Origin: California
Region: Napa
91-94 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2013
Good bright red-ruby. Blackberry, cassis, licorice, bitter chocolate and coffee on the nose, along with a whiff of eucalyptus. Nicely concentrated and fairly deep, with a medicinal cast to the black fruit and pepper flavors. Can't match the 2010 for sweetness and ripeness, though. Will this put on weight during its final months in the barrel?
