Another great California Cabernet Sauvignon wine from the 1997 vintage, this $5,700 Insignia is a classic Napa wine. Joseph Phelps wines are known for their unique styles and the 1997 insignia is one of the best wines of the vintage.
This powerful wine has a dark purple color. There are robust aromas of sweet plum, chocolate and toasty oak. This extraordinarily concentrated wine offers layers of very ripe fruit flavors. The power of the fruit almost overwhelms the palate but full tannins help to balance the wine. The wine's finish is very long and rich. This is still a very young wine and in its youth the rich fruit dominates the wine, however, as the wine ages the pure power of the fruit will evolve and make this a more balanced and complex wine. It will be fun to taste the evolutionary progress of this wine over the decades. Enjoy this wine with Roasted Canadian Goose, Roasted Sonoma or Long Island Duck and Whole Roasted Sirloin Shell scented with Fresh Garlic. Serve this wine at 18 ℃.
Founded in 1972, Joseph Phelps Winery has become one of California's most important and influential wine producers. The company's 1974 Insignia was the first Bordeaux-style blend produced in California under a proprietary label. It is considered one of the New World's top red wines. The Phelps 1974 Syrah helped revive the variety's popularity in California.
