Joseph Phelps Insignia 1999
Dark ruby red body. Aromatic layers of dark roasted coffee and graphite. The seductive mouth-feel has excellent length, intensely ripe black fruit, minerality and creaminess that tie together seamlessly on the palate.
The grapes were picked in the cool dawn hours, sorted and moved to stainless steel tanks for a cold soak of three to five days. Following fermentation, winemakers extended macerations of up to forty days adding to the rich, vibrant hue, a fuller mouth feel and more concentrated, intense flavors in the young wines prior to their 24 months of new French oak aging.
“The story of Insignia is a reflection of my grandfathers character. He was a pioneer and an original who didnt want to do what had already been done. He saw an opportunity to create something very special. With Insignia, he created Californias first proprietary red Bordeaux-style blend.” – Elizabeth Neuman, Joes Granddaughter
