JOSEPH PHELPS INSIGNIA PROPRIETARY RED WINE 1996 (1)

Napa Valley.
u. bn.

Aged 22 months in 100% new French oak, this blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot reveals a powerful core of red and black fruits, dusty, loamy soil, lavender and a hint of toast. I would not describe it as elegant, but rather, it is a big, backstrapping, Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine that should continue to drink well for 15 or more years. November 2013 Drink: 2013-2028 WA 95
