JOSEPH PHELPS VINEYARDS INSIGNIA 2013 (1 mag.)

Napa Valley.
u. bn.

There were 12,300 cases produced in 2013, and this vintage of Insignia is certainly going to turn out to be one of the great ones. The wine offers a stunning inky blue/purple color, a gorgeous nose of blueberry and blackberry liqueur, pen ink, graphite, new saddle leather and barrique. The wine has fabulous concentration, a full-bodied, multi-layered mouthfeel, and tremendous finish with moderate tannin. October 2016 Drink: 2021-2071 WA 98+

SHAFER CABERNET SAUVIGNON HILLSIDE SELECT 2013 (2)

Napa Valley.
u. 2 x bn. 1 x scraped label.

Fabulous potential of 30-50 years is evident in this profound bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon that is inky blue/black to the rim and offers up notes of charcoal embers, scorched earth, blackberries, cassis, blueberries, a hint of coffee, and background barrique smells. Massively concentrated but incredibly elegant and poised, this is a wine of great energy and vibrancy. It is fabulously deep, built like a skyscraper, and set for an incredibly long life. October 2016 Drink: 2020-2070 WA 98+

2 bts. & 1 mag.    per lot $1,000 - $1,200
