Joseph Phelps - 2022 Insignia Red Wine
The 2022 Insignia has full-bodied texture and balanced tannins create a luxurious mouthfeel and smooth finish, making it a standout choice for those seeking a rich and indulgent vintage.
In 1974, the idea to blend the finest wine lots of the vintage into one bottling was revolutionary in the Napa Valley. Named Insignia, to signify a wine of excellence and superior quality, the ‘distinguishing mark’ allowed the wine to freely adapt to the varying combination of varietals from vintage to vintage. Insignia would quickly become the seminal wine of Joseph Phelps’ legacy.
Sourced from up to eight Napa Valley estate vineyards planted primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts of Malbec, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc planted on select sites.
The 2022 growing season began with favorable weather and early bud break. The weather was sunny and mild through August until warmer temperatures the first week of September. The Insignia harvest began on September 9th and concluded on October 5th. Careful fruit selection using our optical sorters was a crucial tool in ensuring excellent wine quality.
