One of the most iconic wines from Joseph Phelps is their flagship blend, Insignia. First produced in 1974, this Bordeaux-style blend has become a benchmark for quality in Napa Valley. The grapes used to make Insignia are sourced from the best vineyards in the region, and the wine is aged in new French oak barrels for two years before being bottled. Insignia is a powerful and complex wine, with layers of flavors and aromas that evolve with each sip.
