Joseph Phelps Insignia Half 2008

HED84944 37.5cl 14.5%
The 2008 Joseph Phelps Insignia is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, and 4% Merlot. The grapes for Insignia are sourced from some of the finest vineyards in Napa Valley, including estate-owned vineyards in St. Helena, Rutherford, and Oak Knoll. The wine is aged for 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels, which helps to develop its rich, complex character. The 2008 vintage in Napa Valley was marked by a challenging growing season, with spring frosts and a cooler summer. However, these conditions resulted in lower yields and smaller, more concentrated berries, which ultimately led to wines with impressive depth and structure.

Joseph Phelps

Joseph Phelps

Founded in 1973, Joseph Phelps Vineyards is family-owned winery celebrated for its commitment to crafting world-class, estate grown wines from Napa Valley and the Sonoma Coast. Joe Phelps was a building contractor from Colorado who began investing in Napa Valley vineyards in the early 1970s, producing the first vintage of his now-famous "Insignia" in 1974 - one of the first super premium Bordeaux blends from Napa.

The current winemaker is Ashley Hepworth, who initially joined Joseph Phelps in 1999 as an intern. Alongside Insignia, Ashley and the team also make a number of varietal wines with the Freestone Vineyards Chardonnay being a notable high point.
