Founded in 1973 and family-owned ever since, Joseph Phelps Vineyards is one of the most iconic and acclaimed California estates. Insignia is their flagship wine and is now recognised as one of the greatest Bordeaux blends in the region. 1994 was an incredible vintage and this is an incredible wine that shows no signs of slowing down or faltering. It is inky, deep and saturated with opulent black fruits complemented by notes of tobacco, allspice and dried flowers.
