ABOUT THE WINE
Crafted as the flagship wine of the esteemed Joseph Phelps Vineyards, Insignia is an iconic Napa Valley blend first introduced in 1974. The 2021 vintage exemplifies meticulous winemaking and a commitment to excellence, sourced exclusively from estate-grown grapes across six carefully managed vineyards. Known for its elegance and aging potential, this wine has solidified its place as one of California’s most celebrated labels.
TASTING NOTES
The 2021 Insignia is a masterful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Malbec, delivering a harmonious and layered experience. Aromas of blackberry, cassis, and mocha lead to flavors of ripe black cherries, plum, and dark chocolate, all wrapped in velvety tannins. Subtle notes of cedar, graphite, and toasted oak add depth to this bold yet refined wine, finishing with remarkable length and balance.
FOOD PAIRING
An exceptional partner for premium cuts of meat, the 2021 Insignia shines with dishes such as filet mignon, slow-braised short ribs, or a classic beef Wellington. Its structure and depth also complement aged cheeses like Comté or a rich truffle pecorino.
