Insignia is the flagship wine from the legendary family-owned and run Joseph Phelps Vineyards winery in California. The 2000 vintage is a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Merlot with support from small portions of Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. It is concentrated and dark with ample black fruit, cinnamon, tobacco and graphite. With 20 years of bottle age it is now supple and rounded with a long, spice-infused finish.

Innovation and Quality in Napa
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.
