Cranberry and pomegranate show appealing clarity, lifted by orange peel and fresh herbs. The structure feels nimble rather than imposing. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins that grip without weight. More linear than the typical Phelps house style, reflecting cooler conditions. Give it three to four years to find its stride.

Joseph Phelps built one of Napa's most recognizable estates from the ground up in the 1970s, and Insignia remains a benchmark Bordeaux-style blend five decades on.
