Joseph Phelps Insignia 2017

The 2017 Insignia is sourced from 5 vineyards, with the Las Rocas vineyard in Stag’s Leap contributing almost 50% of the grapes.

Joseph Phelps Insignia 2017 is 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and is called a “classic, undeniable success” by Jeb Dunnuck. The 2017 is also one of the smallest productions in the last 20 years with a volume drop of 50-60% due to strict selection. 2017 is also an atypical year that delivers remarkable freshness, medium-bodied and elegant style of wine. Jane Anson (Decanter) loves this “pure expression of Cabernet”. Scoring it an excellent 96 points, she called it “great stuff, with a discernibly finessed style that shows a fine tannic balance.”
