Wine Notes
Joseph Phelps weren’t part of the Judgment of Paris tasting but with their first vintage produced in 1974 the shift in focus to Californian producers helped them along the way. Insignia is their flagship Bordeaux blend and is known for its ageing capabilities with some vintages still going after 30 years. The 2012 is one of these long lasting, bold, inky wines that has a fairly hefty repertoire of flavours but doesn’t lack elegance.
