The 2023 vintage is led by 88% Cabernet Sauvignon with 7% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc, drawn from seven distinguished estate vineyards across the valley — including sites in the Rutherford, Oak Knoll, Stags Leap, Oakville, and St. Helena districts. The 2023 growing season was one of the coolest and longest in over a decade, with record winter rainfall and warm, spike-free summers that let the fruit develop concentration while holding balanced acidity, producing a wine that is concentrated yet elegant with age-worthy structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich blackberry, ripe plum, and vibrant blackcurrant, layered with sweet tobacco, cigar box, delicate florals, powdered cocoa, and mineral graphite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-bodied and impeccably structured, with concentrated dark fruit and vibrant acidity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and elegant, with firm yet supple tannins that offer both immediate appeal and graceful aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProducer: Joseph Phelps Vineyards\u003cbr\u003eWine: Insignia (flagship red blend)\u003cbr\u003eVintage: 2023\u003cbr\u003eBlend: 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc\u003cbr\u003eAging: 20 months in 100% new French oak\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Napa Valley, California\u003cbr\u003eSize: 750mL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/red-blend\"\u003eRed Blend collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the 2023 Insignia blend?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2023 vintage is 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, and 5% Cabernet Franc, sourced from seven estate vineyards across Napa Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is it aged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is aged for twenty months in 100% new French oak barrels before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be cellared?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
