2011 Joseph Phelps "Insignia" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

*Ranked #72, Top 100 Cellar Selections 2015* Impeccable elegance characterizes this vintage of the producer‰۪s marquee Bordeaux-style blend, an expert finessing of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec, 2% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Juicy in exotic black fruit, it stands tall, with silky, towering shoulders of herb, cardamom and clove that will coalesce beautifully over time. (VB)
