100 points by Wine Enthusiast

Acclaim:

Cardinale creates a single, limited production Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend from each vintage, drawing from the distinct and diverse vineyards situated in the Mt. Veeder, Howell Mountain, and Stags Leap regions of Napa Valley. The geographic characteristics establish distinctive "footprints" of individual flavor components that lend to the unique and coveted complexity of this harmonious cuvee.

Tasting Notes:

A perfect balance of richness and vibrancy, this famed wine starts with a very fine nose of cedar, cassis, and violets, then turns dramatic and refined in the mouth. The wine has marvelous tannins, vast depth and length, and a full minute finish of sweet fruits and spices. It's a big, bold wine noted for its power, elegance, and voluptuous quality that defines Napa Valley winemaking at its finest.

Blend:

86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot

Cellaring:

Approachable now with proper decanting, though the wine has the stamina to be aged for ten years or more.

Ratings:

95 points by Wine Advocate

Acclaim:

The flagship wine of Joseph Phelps Vineyards, Insignia is recognized as one of California's most celebrated Cabernet-based blends, as well as one of the world's great collectible wines. Since its launch in 1974, over thirty vintages have been rated 90 or more points by various wine publications.

Tasting Notes:

Deeply colored, concentrated and layered, with floral, anise, black cherry, and graphite aromas, Insignia is classically structured with excellent acidity, well-balanced tannins, and a mouth-coating, persistent finish. Medium to full-bodied and elegant, with a European style imposed on the rich, velvety, California fruit, this coveted cuvee is an inimitable pleasure to experience.

Blend:

92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, and 1% Merlot

Cellaring:

Accessible now for its richness, this wine will yield more complex pleasures with 10 years of age and last up to 30.
