Joseph Phelps Insignia 2007 is a full-bodied Bordeaux-style red wine from Napa. The nose presents aromas of blackberry, dried herbs and a hint of earthiness, complemented by nuances of leather, cedar and dark chocolate. On the palate, this full-bodied blend, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, showcases a balance between ripe fruit and acidity, supported by a firm yet velvety tannin structure. The finish displays lingering notes of spice and mocha. Joseph Phelps Winery, founded in 1973, was one of the early proponents of Bordeaux-style blends in California.
