| Chateau/Producer: | Joseph Phelps | | Wine Name: | Insignia | | Region: | Napa Valley | | Wine Score: | 94 | | Notes: | Black-ruby color; nuance of caramel hinting at superb extraction; black currant, anise, wonderful melange of old and new world; sublety of classic Bordeaux with a hint of the prototypical CA-cab forwardness; excellent balance, spectacular, yet seemingly fragile; in comparison to the 1999, I felt the 1997 might be less consistent - both the 97 and 99 vintages were similar but the nod is to the 1999. | | Tasting Date: | 2003-11-20 | | Varietal: | Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc | | Additional Notes: | This is from a special Insignia vertical wine tasting at Disneyworld/Epcot during their "Food and Wine Experience". | | Source: | Joseph Phelps Vertical Tasting |
