Joseph Phelps, Insignia--Vintage 1994
3 magnums per lot
Joseph Phelps, Insignia--Vintage 1994 Napa Valley "The 1994 Insignia (a blend of 88 Cabernet Sauvignon, 10 Merlot, and 2 Cabernet Franc) is spectacular. I have had the wine a half-dozen or more times, and it is unquestionably opulent, sexy, flamboyant, explosively rich, concentrated, and a thrill to drink. Already gorgeous, it promises to evolve gracefully for two decades or more. The color is a healthy saturated dark purple. The spicy nose offers aromas of black currants, allspice, pain grille, and soy, with scents of a burning wood fire thrown in for additional complexity. This full-bodied, opulent, dazzling wine is exhilarating to drink." Robert Parker Wine Advocate #120 (Dec 1998) 3 magnums per lot
