Joseph Phelps' flagship Insignia from the 2016 vintage represents the producer's vision of Napa Valley's finest Cabernet-based expression. This structured blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc carries the hallmark of the vintage's balanced maturity, with layers of dark fruit, graphite and subtle oak integration that reflect careful élevage in French oak. The wine possesses the tannin architecture and complexity to develop gracefully over the next fifteen to twenty years, evolving from its current mid-palate intensity into greater refinement. Serve at cellar temperature alongside aged beef or duck confit to appreciate its dimensional character.
