Joseph Phelps Insignia 2019 Magnum is the large-format expression of Napa Valley’s flagship wine, widely regarded as one of California’s most prestigious Cabernet-based blends.
The 2019 vintage is composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon, with small proportions of Petit Verdot, Merlot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc, selected from top Napa Valley vineyard sites. The year is known for producing wines with excellent balance between concentration, freshness, and structure.
In magnum format, Insignia 2019 benefits from slower maturation and more integrated development over time, enhancing its complexity, smoothness, and long-term ageing potential compared to standard bottles.
Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, inky ruby with an opaque core and youthful intensity.
Nose
Highly expressive aromas of blackcurrant (cassis), ripe blackberry, black cherry, and plum, layered with graphite, cedar, vanilla, dark cocoa, and subtle baking spice.
Palate
Full-bodied, rich, and structured. Concentrated dark fruits are balanced by polished tannins and bright acidity. Layers of cassis, blackberry compote, espresso, and fine oak spice unfold gradually, showing both power and refinement.
Finish
Long, elegant, and persistent, with lingering dark fruit, cocoa, and fine-grained tannins that promise excellent ageing development—especially in magnum format.
