2005 Joseph Phelps 'Insignia' Proprietary Red Napa Valley

Avg. Rating: 
(0)

A Napa Valley legend is now re-released! This is the original proprietary red, and still one of the absolute best. Every single year, it competes with California’s finest releases in our blind tastings, and now with a few years in the bottle, it's strutting like Mick Jagger. Robert Parker: '… rich, dense, pure, with chocolate cassis notes intermixed with hints of subtle wood, roasted herbs, and spice. It is ripe, rich (and) full-bodied…' Insignia is regularly on our short list of the best Napa Valley has to offer.

Joseph Phelps has long been one of Napa Valley’s stalwarts. For more than 30 years, they have been a pacesetter for critically acclaimed wines. As Robert Parker wrote of their flagship red, 'The Insignia cuvée has been one of Napa’s great Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines since its inception in 1974' and Wine Spectator observed that Phelps is 'one of Napa Valley's benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon producers.' Their focus is on world-class standards, top growers and meticulous cellar triage with Insignia seeing only the best components each year. Phelps has a web of vineyards that would make any winemaker excited to go to work. The winery has been working exclusively with estate-owned fruit sources since 2004, and their specific sites are exceptional. They know every nuance of the land and can conjure magic and bottle thunder. And as evidenced by the press for the 2008 Insignia, Phelps’ continued march towards exclusively estate-owned vineyards is paying handsome rewards.
