Joseph Phelps Insignia 2019

「2019年INSIGNIA是充滿經典的好年份，展現了內斂優雅的風格，從淺色櫻桃、花香，一路轉為果香，可以感受到每種味道的交融，卻無法用單一風味去敘述這柔和的滋味，或許「絲滑」（Silky）會是最好的描述。」—「約瑟· 費普酒莊」全球總裁David Pearson（前Opus One首席執行長）

The 2019 Insignia is composed of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec. The vineyard sources this year include: 32% Yountville (Oak Knoll District), 23% Banca Dorada (Rutherford), 14% Suscol (South Napa Valley), 14% Home Ranch (St. Helena), 12% Las Rocas (Stags Leap District), 3% Barboza (Stags Leap District) and 2% El Venadito (Oak Knoll District). The wine is aging for 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Deep garnet-purple in color, it needs a little swirling to unlock a gorgeous perfume of black cherry compote, stewed plums and blackcurrant pastilles with hints of bay leaves, red roses, underbrush and pencil lead plus a hint of menthol. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers impactful black fruit preserves layers with finely grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and layered. 18,000 cases are due to be made.
