Lot 199 Details
JOSEPH PHELPS VINEYARDS INSIGNIA 2016 (OWC)

Napa Valley.
u. 6 x bn.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose is a little reticent to begin, needing a fair bit of coaxing to reveal beautifully beguiling notions of wild blueberries, warm blackberries, black currant cordial, cloves and cedar chest with nuances of camphor, yeast extract, charcuterie and candied violets. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has fantastic elegance and depth, revealing loads of subtle floral, black fruit and earthy layers with a firm, very finely grained texture and seamless freshness, finishing with epic length. 13,400 cases were made. October 2019 Drink to 2060 WA 99

6 bts.    per lot $1,800 - $2,000
