Joseph Phelps Napa Valley Insignia Red 2006

Joseph Phelps Napa Valley Insignia Red 2006

Vintage:

2006

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.

Quintessa Meritage Red 2008

Quintessa Meritage Red 2008

Vintage:

2008

Acclaim:

Quintessa is the best expression of the winery's vineyards in the heart of the renowned Rutherford appellation of Napa Valley. In broad terms, Quintessa is a red meritage wine created using biodynamic, organic farming and eco-sensitive winemaking techniques. A perennially successful wine, it is consistently met with critical acclaim year after year.

Tasting Notes:

The 2008 vintage possesses tremendous density, concentration, and ample fine tannins. It announces itself dramatically with a full lush entry, developing into a broad, rich, and enrobing wine that coats the mouth with concentrated dark fruit flavors balanced by a well-integrated sweetness from the oak.

Blend:

Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenere, and Cabernet Franc

Cellaring:

Full and dramatic early on, but will age gracefully beyond 2013.
