Joseph Phelps and Insignia

Let’s go walk out on a limb and consider the following: Joseph Phelps Vineyard’s “Insignia” is Napa Valley’s (America’s?) most iconic wine; nothing represents Napa Valley as impressively and for more wine lovers across the country than this one bottling of wine

Is the limb bending? I don’t think so.

You have to back up to the beginning to appreciate why this one wine might be the best and most important representation of Napa Valley wine. Joseph Phelps wasn’t the kind of guy who followed a crowd. He got in the wine game before most, building his winery in 1973. This was the man who first labeled a wine “Syrah”. He was the guy who, with his amazing dessert wines first produced in the 1970’s, demonstrated that California could produce world-class botrytis-based wines.
