About This Wine
Investing in 2018 Joseph Phelps Insignia means investing in history. First released in 1978, Insignia was California’s first blend of traditional Bordeaux grapes released under a proprietary name. (Up until this point, most California wines were a mix of low-quality mission grapes and field blends.) Phelps’ meticulous craftsmanship and uncompromising standards were met with widespread acclaim. In 2005, Insignia even won Wine Spectator’s “Wine of the Year.” The 2018 vintage continues the tradition of excellence in classical style. Cassis, black currants, graphite, tobacco, and cocoa unfurl from the nose with the full body and regal structure evoking first growth Bordeaux. Add in balance that rivals that of Simone Biles, and it’s easy to see why wine critic James Suckling praised the vintage as “one of the best Insignias ever.” The Final Sip: Own a piece of history that holds its own against modern heavyweights.
