Wine Arrivals: Mollydooker, Joseph Phelps 05 Insignia

Joseph Phelps 2005 Insignia Napa Valley Red WineJoseph Phelps 2005 Insignia Napa Valley Red Wine
WA (93-96)pts. - IWC (92-95)pts. - According to the Wine Advocate: The 2005 Insignia (12,500 cases) is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot, and 1% Malbec. Elegant and restrained (which is very much in keeping with the style of this vintage), the wine is also rich, dense, pure, with chocolatey cassis notes intermixed with hints of subtle wood, roasted herbs, and spice. It is ripe, rich, full-bodied, but in need of 4-5 years of bottle age. It should last for 25-30 years. It is far more reticent than the more flamboyant 2004. Price: $169
