Joseph Phelps Insignia 2021 is the iconic flagship wine of Joseph Phelps Vineyards, widely regarded as one of Napa Valley’s most prestigious Cabernet-based blends.

The 2021 vintage is composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by small amounts of Petit Verdot, Malbec, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, sourced from top vineyard sites across Napa Valley. This vintage is known for excellent structure, purity, and balance between power and freshness.

Insignia is crafted only in standout vintages and is designed as a long-term ageing wine, often compared to top Bordeaux Grand Cru Classé wines in structure and ambition.

Tasting Notes

Colour
Deep, opaque ruby with a dense core and youthful vibrancy.

Nose
Highly expressive with aromas of blackcurrant (cassis), dark cherry, blackberry, and plum, layered with graphite, cedar, crushed herbs, and fine toasted oak spice.

Palate
Full-bodied, structured, and refined. Concentrated dark fruit is balanced by firm yet polished tannins. Layers of black fruit, cocoa, espresso, and mineral notes unfold gradually, showing both richness and precision.

Finish
Long, powerful, and elegant, with lingering cassis, dark chocolate, and fine-grained tannin structure that signals strong ageing potential.
