| Description: | Jeb Dunnuck Review. Rated 99. Another beautiful wine from this team, the 2019 Insignia is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon but includes smaller amounts of Merlot and Malbec, brought up all in new barrels, sourced from seven estate vineyards. It has a classic varietal and incredibly complex nose of creme de cassis, freshly sharpened pencils, green tobacco, and damp earth, with a kiss of background sappy spring flowers. Seemingly from a cooler year with its freshness, vibrancy, and herbal, floral character on the nose, it's nevertheless full-bodied and beautifully concentrated on the palate, with ultra-fine tannins, a seamless, layered mouthfeel, and a gorgeous finish. Unquestionably up with the finest vintages of this cuvée, this is legit awesome juice that's going to offer incredible pleasure over the coming 20-25 years. Hats off to winemaker Ashley Hepworth. Drinking Window 2023-2048. Wine Tasting Notes. Joseph Phelps Insignia Red Blend greets the senses with rich scents of red fruit, creme de cassis, earthy tobacco, and subtle dried rose petals.
