The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon from Joseph Phelps (you know from the famous Insignia) is a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec from vineyards in southern Napa Valley, St Helena, Oak Knoll District and Stags Leap District. It is aged for 18 months in oak, in 48% new (58% French, 42% American) and 52% two-year-old French and American oak barrels. The Phelps is aged for 18 months in 40% new oak (51% American, 49% French) and 60% one- to two-year French and American oak barrels. The Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep garnet-purple color with seductive baked plums, stewed cherries, mulberries and warm cassis on the nose with hints of spice cake, pepper and tobacco leaf. The Phelps is medium to full bodied and has a great intensity of blackcurrant and exotic spices framed by soft tannins and a lively freshness which ends with an impressive length. The wine can be drunk now, but can also be kept for another 15+ years, but that's actually a shame. This wine is very nice to enjoy and for a Napa Valley topper is still relatively pleasantly priced for a real Napa Valley.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec. It is due to age in oak for 18 months, in 48% new (58% French, 42% American) and 52% two-year-old French and American oak barrels. Deep garnet-purple in color, it rolls effortlessly out of the glass with beautifully pure notes of fresh black plums, black cherries and crushed blackcurrants plus hints of cinnamon stick, tobacco leaf and charcoal. Medium to full-bodied, the palate hits the ground running with expressive black fruits and soft, supple tannins, lifted by just enough freshness and finishing pleasantly savory. 40,000 are due to be made. (Tasted as a barrel sample.)

Joseph Phelps is one of the great winemakers from California. First of all, amassing a lot of fortune with one of the largest American construction companies, he has followed his passion and bought a farm in Spring Valley in the real heart of the Napa Valley in 1973 and planted his first vines with the ambition to make world class wines with the top Bordeauxs as an example. The Insignia was his first wine and it has since grown into a flagship wine and is one of the best wines in the world. Joseph Phelps now owns 150ha in the Napa Valley, in eight vineyards across the region. His passion for wine also made him decide to buy two great (old) vineyards in Sonoma Coast (Freestone Vineyards) in 1999 where he currently makes great Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines. Joseph Phelps is synonymous with the top of the world and is a winemaker where grape and aftertaste always prevail.
